That is the same formula .. just written slightly differently.

It is constant 9assuming you are talking about the one object) in both
formulas. 'm' means mass (rest mass or invariant mass) .. it doesn't
change. rewriting the formula does not make any difference whatsoever ..
except that the formula you propose is less useful in that neither side
directly gives you a meaningful value (ie most useful formulas have a single
symbol on one side, and an expression on the other side that calculates the
value for that formula.
