let q=relativistic factor
then F=q*m0*a (where m0 is rest mass and a=acceleration)

if E=m*c^2 =>dE=dm*c^2 (i'm not sure about this)
and dL=F*dx (is the infinitesimal work completed by an external strenght F on the system)

F*dx=dm*c^2 =>

q*m0*a*dx=dm*c^2 => dm/m0=(q*a/c^2)*dx

m'(x)=q*m0*a(x)/c^2 ==> F=m'(x)*c^2 .

a=m'(x)*(c^2/(q*m0))

is right?

No,I suggest you to study "Introduction to special relativity"
Robert Resnick.
I can provide you the detailed computations,if you want.

Well, this is wrong for a start

I suggest you read http://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/physics/Relativity/SR/mass.html" , specifically the addendum at the end, to begin with.

F is defined as dp/dt and p = qm0v. But v is contained in the factor q so when you derive p you actually obtain:

F = qm0a + q^3(m0/c^2)(v°a)v

where ° means scalar product.

Just a light correction on lightarrow's post (and to make things a little easier to read);

\vec{F} = \gamma m_{0}\vec{a} + \gamma^{3}m_{0}\frac{\vec{v}\cdot\vec{a}}{c^2}\vec{v}

Edit: Ahh lightarrow's on the ball today :wink:
 
OK, so this has bugged me for a while about the equivalence principle and the black hole information paradox. If black holes "evaporate" via Hawking radiation, then they cannot exist forever. So, from my external perspective, watching the person fall in, they slow down, freeze, and redshift to "nothing," but never cross the event horizon. Does the equivalence principle say my perspective is valid? If it does, is it possible that that person really never crossed the event horizon? The...
In this video I can see a person walking around lines of curvature on a sphere with an arrow strapped to his waist. His task is to keep the arrow pointed in the same direction How does he do this ? Does he use a reference point like the stars? (that only move very slowly) If that is how he keeps the arrow pointing in the same direction, is that equivalent to saying that he orients the arrow wrt the 3d space that the sphere is embedded in? So ,although one refers to intrinsic curvature...
So, to calculate a proper time of a worldline in SR using an inertial frame is quite easy. But I struggled a bit using a "rotating frame metric" and now I'm not sure whether I'll do it right. Couls someone point me in the right direction? "What have you tried?" Well, trying to help truly absolute layppl with some variation of a "Circular Twin Paradox" not using an inertial frame of reference for whatevere reason. I thought it would be a bit of a challenge so I made a derivation or...
