Physics 161, Astrophysics and Cosmology Fall 2011
... It is the goal of physics in general (and cosmology, specifically) to try to explain where the Universe came from and how it evolves. As we will see, this will not be an easy task, in general. The attempt to describe the Universe will lead us into new and exciting areas of physics, including Einstei ...

Mass and Energy
... In 1905 Einstein showed that the mass of a moving object, as measured by a stationary observer, increases as it approaches the speed of light. This effect is important for fundamental particles which can be accelerated to very high velocities.Therefore we use the term rest mass (m0) of the particle ...

... cannot have the same speed because of the difference in their masses. For the same reason, remembering that KE = p2/2m, they cannot have the same kinetic energy. Because the kinetic energy is the only type of energy an isolated particle can have, and we have argued that the particles have different ...
