How so mass does not change with speed? I thought that as a particle approaches the speed of light then it must lose mass. What is it i got wrong here?

Hi, If you were to slow down the speed of light (299,792,458 m/s) to half then what is the mass of a photon of light?, this is using the premis a photon has no mass at the speed of light, or it is losing mass as it approaches the speed of light. Therefor a photon must assume mass as it slows...

Yet again another so simple answer in this world of complexities. I tip my hat to you sir.

Hi gang, Here is an easy one but nevertheless requires formula to express your postion. in terms of magnetic propulsion; I am building a tunnel with r=5cm and a sphere inserted will be approx 8cm diameter which will be propelled via electro magnetic propulsion. I'm now about to evaluate...

Ah ha, Have U been told you are a legend :) This has helped no end. The last part of my query then is the last part being the vector sum of the linear acceleration and the centipital acceleration. Could I express this by stating a(centripetal) is V(2/t)/R...

http://www.sixflags.com/parks/overgeorgia/pdf/HighSchoolWorkbook.PDF looking at this to inspire me and in particular the horizontal accelerometer.

Now that's very good but what if that straight line is now a circle as perfectly round as humanly possible. would this still apply or has angular displacement now componded the g force and therefore not have to accelerate at 49 m/s^2 but less ? Thanx

Yes this would be the vectoring I am at now, but would time now be in reference to your velocity ?

Hay there, just re-reading some other information and have another question? If your traveling in a straight line and your velocity is 1 m/s and you want to achieve a g-force of 5G would you therefore have to accelerate at (9.8m/s*5) or 48 m/s to affect 5 g's Thanx

the angle of the circle would be the constant angle (? angular velocity?) you would be on as you went around the horizontal ride. If its radius is 5 metres and is traveling at 1 m/s with a mass of 100kg in a circle, i believe i will need to know its angle to find out the force applied at any...

Hi, Just a quick question I have a circle with radius of 5 metres, what is the angle of the circle? or is there a simple formula to work this out. Thanx

Ok. so m=mass v=velocity and r=radius. The accelerating frame i understand and yes your right about keeping it horizontal,a lthough i have been able to keep the model in my head independent of mass. So, is there something I am missing in the whole G-force thing as I'm still trying to discover...

Hmm so this is now getting more complex than first thought.O.k then here it is in a nutshell. I want to simulate real time driving experiences of a formula one car and have a cockpit going round a vertical circle (can be horizontal thou) the occupant inside will feel the g- force the same as...

Aha so the constant speed is 1 m/s say and its radius is 5m therefore i need to substitute v2 =1m/s and r=5m, if this gives the desired result then where to then to find the applied G-force ont he onject. or a(centripetal) give this? (Of all the things I've ever missed i miss my mind the...

HI, Well the objects speed is at 1 m/s/s and is traveling around a circle with a radius of 5m. i am playing unsuccessfully with centripetal acceleration. Angular velocity is also not working. I need a formula that will allow adjustment to the speed at anytime to allow G- Force to be...
