You've said those two in natural English.

How do you read Einstein's equation about the relationship between E, m,c, Contrex?

"ee equals emm cee squared" (note the final 'd' - I believe Americans just say 'square')



E =mc^2

How to read mc^5 then? em cee what?

em cee to the fifth
em cee to the fifth power
em cee raised to the fifth power

Note: 2nd and 3rd powers have common names: ^2 is "squared" and ^3 is "cubed". Above 3 the power of a number is spoken as a number followed by "raised to the" (or just "to the") followed by the power expressed as an ordinal number and sometimes the word "power":

number [raised] to the nth [power]

e.g. 3^27 is commonly spoken as "three to the twenty seventh".
