Mass in special relativity the mass of a moving particle." When the relative velocity is zero, formula_33 is simply equal to 1, and the relativistic mass is reduced to the rest mass as one can see in the next two equations below. As the velocity increases toward the speed of light "c", the denominator of the right side approaches zero, and consequently formula_33 approaches infinity. In the formula for momentum the mass that occurs is the relativistic mass. In other words, the relativistic mass is the proportionality constant between the velocity and the momentum. While Newton's second law remains valid in the form the
Flow velocity Flow velocity In continuum mechanics the macroscopic velocity, also flow velocity in fluid dynamics or drift velocity in electromagnetism, is a vector field used to mathematically describe the motion of a continuum. The length of the flow velocity vector is the flow speed and is a scalar. The flow velocity u of a fluid is a vector field which gives the velocity of an "element of fluid" at a position formula_2 and time formula_3 The flow speed "q" is the length of the flow velocity vector and is a scalar field. The flow velocity of a fluid effectively describes everything
