For a photon E=h.f (f=frequency) = hc/l (c=velocity of light)
Hence E = p.c for photons.
For non relativistic bodies p = m.v and E = (1/2) m.v^2 so E = (p^2)/2m. This assumes m = rest mass is independent of velocity. In general this is not true if v^2/c^2 is not ~0 since m=m0/sqrt(1-v^2/c^2). So this formula is only valid at velocities at which relativistic effects can be ignored.
hope this helps
