Areal velocity equal to the magnitude of the cross product of vectors "AB" and "AC". This area can also be viewed as a vector with this magnitude, pointing in a direction perpendicular to the parallelogram; this vector is the cross product itself: Hence The areal velocity is this vector area divided by Δ"t" in the limit that Δ"t" becomes vanishingly small: But, formula_4 is the velocity vector formula_5 of the moving particle, so that On the other hand, the angular momentum of the particle is and hence the angular momentum equals 2"m" times the areal velocity. Conservation of areal velocity is a
Mass in special relativity geometry of Minkowski-space, the velocity-space is bounded by "c" and has the geometry of hyperbolic geometry where relativistic-mass plays an analogous role to that of Newtonian-mass in the barycentric-coordinates of Euclidean geometry. The connection of velocity to hyperbolic-geometry enables the 3-velocity-dependent relativistic-mass to be related to the 4-velocity Minkowski-formalism. Mass in special relativity Mass in special relativity incorporates the general understandings from the laws of motion of special relativity along with its concept of mass–energy equivalence. The word "mass" is given two meanings in special relativity: one ("rest" or "invariant mass", and its equivalent "rest energy") is an invariant quantity
