How to express the mass of a proton and an elektron in MeV/c²? Thank you!
I know how to express something in MeV/u and I know how much c² is... But i can't make up my mind how to do this?

This is a bit sneaky - it’s physics shorthand, that’s all.
Explanation:
As you know mass and energy are inter-convertible (
This means that physicists often express the masses or energies of subatomic particles in eV, but of course if we rearrange the first equation for mass we get
Sorry.
