Relativistic Energy and Momentum

According to classical physics, time flow is the same for every observer. But according to einstein's theory, time flow is different for different observers. The idea that time flow is not the same for all may sound strange because we may not experience this effect in everyday life. This effect is only observed when an object moves with some velocity comparable to the velocity of light. This velocity is termed relativistic velocity.

1. Multiplication or division: keep the same number of significant figures in the product or quotient as is in the least precise factor. Examples: 3.1 * 25.6=79.360000... = 79 6.7/981.0=0.0068297655... = 0.0068 keep only 2 significant digits 2. Powers or roots: keep the same number of significant figures as in the original number. Example: Sqrt(38) 6.164414... keep only 2 significant digits = 6.2 (11.6)² = 134.5600000... = 135 Exercises 3. Addition or subtraction: Round off, to the number of decimal places determined by the number with the least number of places beyond the decimal point. Example: 31.5+24.61 +3.28+1.19 +0.762 +0.003 = 61.345 1. 3.9 * 78.9= = 61.3 (correct result) 2. 32.01 +96.321 +36.98 +0.00023 +28.9= 3. 26.9/98 = 4. 421 0.003 =
