Relativistic Addition of Velocities
A velocity-addition formula is an equation that relates the velocities of moving objects in different reference frames.
Relativistic Momentum
Relativistic momentum is given as
Relativistic Energy and Mass
In special relativity, as the object approaches the speed of light, the object's energy and momentum increase without bound.
Matter and Antimatter
Antimatter is composed of antiparticles, which have the same mass as particles of ordinary matter but opposite charge and quantum spin.
Relativistic Kinetic Energy
Relativistic kinetic energy can be expressed as:
