  2. Energy–momentum relation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy–momentum_relation

    For photons, this is the relation, discovered in 19th century classical electromagnetism, between radiant momentum (causing radiation pressure) and radiant energy. If the body's speed v is much less than c, then reduces to E = ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠ m 0 v 2 + m 0 c 2; that is, the body's total energy is simply its classical kinetic energy (⁠ 1 / 2 ...

  3. Kinetic energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinetic_energy

    For example, for a speed of 10 km/s (22,000 mph) the correction to the non-relativistic kinetic energy is 0.0417 J/kg (on a non-relativistic kinetic energy of 50 MJ/kg) and for a speed of 100 km/s it is 417 J/kg (on a non-relativistic kinetic energy of 5 GJ/kg). The relativistic relation between kinetic energy and momentum is given by

  4. Mass–energy equivalence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass–energy_equivalence

    Mass–energy equivalence states that all objects having mass, or massive objects, have a corresponding intrinsic energy, even when they are stationary.In the rest frame of an object, where by definition it is motionless and so has no momentum, the mass and energy are equal or they differ only by a constant factor, the speed of light squared (c 2).

  5. Kinetic theory of gases - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinetic_theory_of_gases

    In a lecture of 1681, Hooke asserted a direct relationship between the temperature of an object and the speed of its internal particles. "Heat ... is nothing but the internal Motion of the Particles of [a] Body; and the hotter a Body is, the more violently are the Particles moved."

  6. Newton's laws of motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_laws_of_motion

    Newton's laws of motion are three physical laws that describe the relationship between the motion of an object and the forces acting on it. These laws, which provide the basis for Newtonian mechanics, can be paraphrased as follows: A body remains at rest, or in motion at a constant speed in a straight line, except insofar as it is acted upon by ...

  7. Power (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_(physics)

    Power is the rate with respect to time at which work is done; it is the time derivative of work: =, where P is power, W is work, and t is time.. We will now show that the mechanical power generated by a force F on a body moving at the velocity v can be expressed as the product: = =

  8. Rotational energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotational_energy

    Note the close relationship between the result for rotational energy and the energy held by linear (or translational) motion: = In the rotating system, the moment of inertia , I , takes the role of the mass, m , and the angular velocity , ω {\displaystyle \omega } , takes the role of the linear velocity, v .

  9. Running energetics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Running_energetics

    Though some recent data may suggest otherwise, [9] it is traditionally well accepted that a strong linear relationship exists between the rate of oxygen consumption and running speed (see figure 1), with energy expenditure increasing with increasing running speed.
