E=MC^2 (20points)

You could refer to my answer given previously to a similar question, the web-page quoted in the last thread should be understandable by high school physics students :

Einstein published his Theory of Special Relativity(特殊相對論，或名狹義相對論) in 1905. The equation E=mc2 was published in a short paper later in the year as a supplement to the Special Relativity Theory. This short paper (original version is in German, but English translation is available) titled "Does the inertia of a Body Depends on its Energy Content" can be read on the following link:

In that paper, Einstien derived this famous equation.

There is a simple derviation of the equation E=mc^2, written by some other authors, to be understandable by high school physics students. You may refer to the following web-page:

I just learn that the web-page to the last thread has gone. You may refer to the following web-page instead

The derivation in the following web-page is even simpler, should be understood by high school physics students
