hey i'll respond to the rest later, but just to touch on the einstein thing. his point was that unless you're at the speed of light, the results given from classical mechanics are correct (very small degree off). It is only when you get to describing objects traveling near the speed of light where the descrepencies become apparent. Just to show you whwat did change. The original equations of relativity were to simply add or subtract velocities in a frame of reference. So if I'm running 5 miles an hour on a train that is traveling 50 miles an hour, my real speed is 55 miles an hour. Einstein corrected this classical notion of relativity to include the cap at the speed of light. Hence the equation is different.
galilean addition of velocities (the classic notion of relativity)
s = v + u.
relativistic addition of velocity as per einstein:
s = (v + u)/(1+(v/c)(u/c)) where c is the speed of light.
There a correction to the original model of classical mechanics. |
