Im having trouble figuring out the components using relativi
I\'m having trouble figuring out the components using relativistic momentum for r9b.3.
Solution
the speed is,
v = sqrt(4/13*4/13+3/13*3/13+0*0) = 0.38462 c
the Lorentz factor or relativistic constant is,
gamma = 1/sqrt(1-v/c^2)
= 1/sqrt(1-0.38462*0.38462)
= 1.0833
gamma * m = 1.0833 * 12 = 12.9996
thus the momentum is,
P = gamma m [c, vx , vy , vz] = [12.9996 ,3.999 , -2.999 , 0] = [13, 4, -2,0] , approximately
