Relativistic Force, Energy & Momentum: Does Force Also Apply?

astro2cosmos · Apr 20, 2010

likewise energy & momentum of an object is considered in relativistic approach, does force also? since rate of change in momentum is known as FORCE, why not we study force in relativistic approach?

Yes, force is studied in relativity. It is called the "four-force".
