Which of the following scenarios involves energy that we would typically calculate with Einstein's formula E=mc2?
A. A small amount of the hydrogen in of a nuclear bomb becomes energy as fusion converts the hydrogen to helium.
B. An object accelerated to a great speed has a lot of kinetic energy.
C. A mass raised to a great height has a lot of gravitational potential energy.
D. A burning piece of wood produces light and heat, therefore giving off radiative and thermal energy.
