    Understanding FLP Vol 1, Section 30.1: Struggling w/Magnitude & Phase

    I’m having trouble understanding section 30.1 of FLP Vol 1. Particularly the first figure is causing me struggle. I understand magnitude and phase, such as fig 29-9 when 2 waves are added to get an effective resultant vector. But I’m struggling to see how equation 30.3 is applicable when it’s...

    I Find E' in FLP Volume 1 17.4: Why Does It Work?

    Oh I see, he was just taking v' and putting it in the same relation to E' as E is to v. That all makes sense, thank! I figured it had to be from some other formula, because the operation on its own didn't click

    I Find E' in FLP Volume 1 17.4: Why Does It Work?

    In FLP Volume 1 section 17.4, Feynman derives the 4 momentum. He gives the expression for v'(velocity in the moving reference frame) then says to find E' we need to square v', subtract it from one, take the squad root, and take the reciprocal. He does this to get E' is simply mo times the...
