Overview
Explore the fundamental concepts of special relativity in this comprehensive physics lecture from the "Physics 4C in 30 Lectures" series. Delve into a detailed derivation of relativistic momentum, followed by an in-depth examination of relativistic kinetic energy and total energy concepts. The lecture concludes with a thorough wrap-up of relativistic energy principles and explores the relationships between energy, momentum, velocity, and mass, including an explanation of the electron-volt unit. Perfect for physics students seeking to understand how classical mechanics transforms at relativistic speeds.
