Kinetic energy: Newton vs. Einstein | Who’s right?
Posted by Shubham Ghosh Roy in categories: energy, information science, physics
Using Newtonian physics, physicists have found an expression for the value of kinetic energy, specifically KE = ½ m v^2. Einstein came up with a very different expression, specifically KE = (gamma – 1) m c^2. In this video, Fermilab’s Dr. Don Lincoln shows how these two equations are the same at low energy and how you get from one to the other.
