    I Lorentz Transform: Justifying Use in Acceleration

    In a standard problem of an electron released from the negative plate in an E field between 2 parallel plates in which the velocity must be determined why can the Lorentz transformation be used (involving v^2/c^2) when the electron is undergoing acceleration and there is nothing in the...

    Show Energy Equality of Simple Pendulum with Equipartition

    Homework Statement How would one show that the average total energy of a simple pendulum is equal to twice the average kinetic energy of the pendulum? Homework Equations E = T + V = 1/2 ml**2 (θ'**2) + mgl cos(θ) The Attempt at a Solution Maybe use equipartition?
