Did you ever notice that Einstein's E=MC^2 is similar to Newton's F=MA

In Einstein's case, E is the energy (or Force) of the electro-magnetic spectrum (ie photons and light) and the acceleration is simply the speed of light (the speed of the electro-magnetic spectrum) squared.

Einstein's E deals exclusively with the energy of light and the electro-weak-magnetic force.

It seems to me that F=MA and E=MC^2 should be expanded on to fit into other forms of energy.

Homework assignment:

What units is speed measured in?

In what units is acceleration measured in?

If you square a speed, what units is speed measured in?

Please post your reponses to my previous inquiry about the units in which acceleration is measured, and the units in which the speed of light squared are measured to the thread; I'm not looking for a personal FReepmail dialog, thank you very much.

If you don't post your response, I'll be happy to post your Freepmail to me here on the thread, in lieu of a reply from you. Unless you post otherwise here on the thread, I will assume I have your consent.
