Graduate Help me find my error in a relativistic kinetic energy calculation
Same formula,KE=M*C2 just without Lorentz factor, because I thought it's only relevant when the body moves with relativistic speeds, not when it gets accelerated. Of course I might be wrong, and I probably am, that's why I'm asking.- Serenityseeker22

Graduate Help me find my error in a relativistic kinetic energy calculation
What I'm trying to say is that the energy needed to accelerate the asteroid is much lesser, than the total kinetic energy this asteroid distributes. It violates some laws of physics, I'm sure of it, but I don't know what exactly and how. My calculations: Lorentz factor -- oh-my-god...- Serenityseeker22

Graduate Help me find my error in a relativistic kinetic energy calculation
Hi everyone. Given: an asteroid with the mass of 50,000,000 kg, which is moving with the velocity of oh-my-god particle -- 99.99999999999999999999951% of c. Due to relativistic effects, its total kinetic energy will be 1.44 E+36 Joules (Lorentz factor = 3.2 E+11). A hypothetical particle...- Serenityseeker22
