Mass in special relativity (including the kinetic energy of the gas) only when it is measured in the center of momentum frame. Just as is the case for single particles, the calculated "rest mass" of such a container of gas does not change when it is in motion, although its "relativistic mass" does change. The container may even be subjected to a force which gives it an overall velocity, or else (equivalently) it may be viewed from an inertial frame in which it has an overall velocity (that is, technically, a frame in which its center of mass has a velocity). In this case,
Jerk (physics) Jerk (physics) In physics, jerk is the rate of change of acceleration; that is, the time derivative of acceleration, and as such the second derivative of velocity, or the third time derivative of position. According to the result of dimensional analysis of jerk, [length/time], the SI units for its magnitude are m/s (or m⋅s); this can also be expressed in standard gravity per second ("g"/s). Jerk is a vector, and (as with "acceleration") there is no distinct term to denote its scalar magnitude (more precisely, its norm, as, e.g., there is "speed" for the norm of the velocity vector). Jerk
