Really basic Physics question F=mv^2 true or not?

    I haven't touched a physics book in a few years but from what I can remember

    F = m*a

    p = m*v

    Ek = 1/2(m*v^2)

    Does F or E = mass times velocity squared? Is it derived?

    I do know E = m*c^2 and c is the speed of light (so you could substitue v, but I'm guessing that would be only for near light speeds)

    Hopefully someone can clear this up for me
