Graduate Relativistic Energy Derivation math problem
Hey, In a derivation of relativistic energy (in Physics for Scientists and Engineers, 5th edition, Serway and Beichner) they use a method of integration by substitution: Given that F=\frac{dp}{dt} and relativistic momentum is given by p=\frac{mv}{\sqrt(1-(v^2/c^2))} W=∫F...- michael154
