Relativistic momentum, mass and energy Flashcards
1
Q
What is the mass under relativistic effects?
A
m=γm_0
where m_0 is the rest mass
2
Q
What is the momentum under relativistic effects?
A
p=γm_0v
3
Q
What is the kinetic energy under relativistic effects?
A
Ek=(γ-1)m_0c^2
4
Q
What is the total energy for a particle under relativistic effects?
A
E=E_0+Ek=γm_0c^2=mc^2
5
Q
What is the invariance relation for Energy and momentum?
A
E^2-p^2c^2=m_0^2c^4
6
Q
What is the energy for massless particles?
A
E=pc
