    Energy Gravity
AI Thread Summary
As mass increases with velocity, the relationship between gravity and mass becomes significant. The question arises whether gravity increases with energy from the perspective of stationary observers. Observers moving alongside the accelerated mass would not perceive any change in its gravitational field. However, stationary observers might notice an increase in the gravitational influence of the mass. This topic is further explored in related discussions on physics forums.

As mass increases with increasing velocity(energy) and gravity is directly related to mass . Does gravity of a body increases with increasing energy

Joy I think you pose an excellent question. An observer riding along beside the accelerated mass would not notice any change in the mass's gravity, but what about a stationary observer with respect to the mass? Would they notice an increase in it's gravitational field?
 
comparing a flat solar panel of area 2π r² and a hemisphere of the same area, the hemispherical solar panel would only occupy the area π r² of while the flat panel would occupy an entire 2π r² of land. wouldn't the hemispherical version have the same area of panel exposed to the sun, occupy less land space and can therefore increase the number of panels one land can have fitted? this would increase the power output proportionally as well. when I searched it up I wasn't satisfied with...
