Abstract
The paper focuses on the mass-energy equivalence that is not related to Einstein’s relativity theory. The kinetic energy defined in classical mechanics plays a vital role in the energy-mass equation and its applications. In this article, the author discusses two bodies relating to the mass-energy relation: one is a rigid body in motion and another is a body-like rocket filled with fuel and moving in a vacuum.
