Gravity Speed

AI Thread Summary

The discussion centers on whether gravity remains constant for stationary objects compared to those moving at high speeds, particularly near the speed of light. It explores the relationship between motion and gravitational force, referencing previous inquiries on the topic. The link provided leads to a detailed explanation on the Physics Forums, which likely addresses the nuances of gravity in relation to relativistic speeds. Participants are encouraged to consider how motion might influence gravitational effects. Understanding this relationship is crucial for grasping concepts in physics related to gravity and motion.

Is Gravity the same if an object is motion less compared to an object traveling at a high speed...say close to the speed of light.

Thread 'Is calling fictitious forces "not real" just about terminology?'

Hi there, im studying nanoscience at the university in Basel. Today I looked at the topic of intertial and non-inertial reference frames and the existence of fictitious forces. I understand that you call forces real in physics if they appear in interplay. Meaning that a force is real when there is the "actio" partner to the "reactio" partner. If this condition is not satisfied the force is not real. I also understand that if you specifically look at non-inertial reference frames you can...

Thread 'Derivation of Hamilton's Principle: Questions'

I have recently been really interested in the derivation of Hamiltons Principle. On my research I found that with the term ##m \cdot \frac{d}{dt} (\frac{dr}{dt} \cdot \delta r) = 0## (1) one may derivate ##\delta \int (T - V) dt = 0## (2). The derivation itself I understood quiet good, but what I don't understand is where the equation (1) came from, because in my research it was just given and not derived from anywhere. Does anybody know where (1) comes from or why from it the...
