This last relation is useful relativistic mechanics, essential in relativistic quantum mechanics and relativistic quantum field theory, all with applications to particle physics.
12.
In physics, "'relativistic mechanics "'refers to mechanics compatible with special relativity ( SR ) and general relativity ( GR ).
13.
The fact that no classical body can exceed the speed of light ( no matter how much acceleration is applied ) is a consequence of classical relativistic mechanics.
14.
If a body's speed is a significant fraction of the speed of light, it is necessary to use relativistic mechanics to calculate its kinetic energy.
15.
It is a straightforward extension to field functions, which obey differential wave equations derivable from a lagrangian, of the quantization procedure of non-reLativistic mechanics.
16.
In fact the same principles and formalisms can be used in relativistic mechanics and general relativity, and with some modification, quantum mechanics and quantum field theory also.
17.
In non-relativistic mechanics, for example, a point particle's Lagrangian is the difference between kinetic and potential energy : L = K-U.
18.
It is possible to obtain the less accurate models in appropriate limits, for example relativistic mechanics reduces to Newtonian mechanics at speeds much less than the speed of light.
19.
Newton's Law of Gravitation in non-relativistic mechanics states that the acceleration on an object of mass m due to another object of mass M is equal to
20.
In relativistic mechanics, the reference frame, change according to a Lorentz transformation as one measures in a different frame boosted and / or rotated relative the original frame in consideration.
