What the principle of relativity essentially states is the following:
8 Lorentz Invariance and Special Relativity
www.phys.ufl.eduthe Newtonian kinetic energy is obtained at low momentum and that mis the Newtonian mass. At p = 0 we have Einstein’s famous E= mc2! We can easily solve for p in terms of v: v2 c2 = p2 p2 +m2c2, E= mc2 p 1−v2/c2 = γmc2, p = vE c2 = γmv (420) As we shall soon see this modification of the relation between momentum and velocity is
Introduction to Modern Physics
www.physics.smu.eduNewtonian Physics Developed in the 1800’s, extended forward 200 years. Force and acceleration are related to each other through inertial mass. -Kepler’s laws (accurate for many objects) -Energy is a fundamental quantity that can not be created or destroyed, only transferred. -Mass was recognized as a body’s tendency to resist changes
THE SPECIAL THEORY OF RELATIVITY
physics.mq.edu.authe properties of the physical world is very old: it certainly predates Newton and Galileo, but probably not as far back as Aristotle. What the principle of relativity essentially states is the following: The laws of physics take the same form in all frames of reference moving with constant velocity with respect to one another.
CHAPTER ONE - NCERT
ncert.nic.inNewtonian mechanics, till then a very successful theory, could not explain some of the most basic features of atomic phenomena. Similarly, the then accepted wave picture of light failed to explain the photoelectric effect properly. This led to the development of a radically new theory (Quantum Mechanics) to deal with atomic and molecular phenomena.
MATHEMATICAL MODELING A Comprehensive Introduction
www.math.colostate.educoncrete conclusions concerning the world, both natural and artificial, that we live in. 1.1 EXAMPLES OF MODELING Here we do a quick tour of several examples of the mathematical process. We present the models as finished results as opposed to attempting to develop the models. 1.1.1 Modeling with Difference Equations

More details can be found in the lectures on Dynamics and Relativity. We’ll start with a single particle.. A particle is de ned to be an object of insigni cant
Mass, Energy, the Speed of Light— It’s Not Intuitive!
www2.lbl.govNewtonian Physics (pre-Einstein) gives good results if the object is moving pretty slowly—less than about 10% of the speed of light (the speed of light is 300,000,000 meters/sec or 186,000 mi/sec). • The mass of an object does not change with speed; it changes only if we cut off or add a piece to the object.
