  2. Mass–energy equivalence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Massenergy_equivalence

    Mass near the M87* black hole is converted into a very energetic astrophysical jet, stretching five thousand light years. In physics, mass–energy equivalence is the relationship between mass and energy in a system's rest frame, where the two quantities differ only by a multiplicative constant and the units of measurement.

  3. Energy–momentum relation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy–momentum_relation

    In physics, the energy–momentum relation, or relativistic dispersion relation, is the relativistic equation relating total energy (which is also called relativistic energy) to invariant mass (which is also called rest mass) and momentum. It is the extension of mass–energy equivalence for bodies or systems with non-zero momentum.

  4. Mass in special relativity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_in_special_relativity

    The relativistic mass is the sum total quantity of energy in a body or system (divided by c 2).Thus, the mass in the formula = is the relativistic mass. For a particle of non-zero rest mass m moving at a speed relative to the observer, one finds =.

  5. Kinetic energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinetic_energy

    The mathematical by-product of this calculation is the mass–energy equivalence formula, that mass and energy are essentially the same thing: [14]: 51 [15]: 121 = = At a low speed (v ≪ c), the relativistic kinetic energy is approximated well by the classical kinetic energy.

  6. Electromagnetic mass - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_mass

    Electromagnetic mass was initially a concept of classical mechanics, denoting as to how much the electromagnetic field, or the self-energy, is contributing to the mass of charged particles. It was first derived by J. J. Thomson in 1881 and was for some time also considered as a dynamical explanation of inertial mass per se.

  7. Energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy

    Mass is also equivalent to a certain amount of energy, and likewise always appears associated with it, as described in mass–energy equivalence. The formula E = mc 2, derived by Albert Einstein (1905) quantifies the relationship between relativistic mass and energy within the concept of special

  8. Effective mass (solid-state physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effective_mass_(solid...

    The cyclotron effective mass therefore is only a function of energy, and it turns out to be exactly related to the density of states at that energy via the relation () =, where g v is the valley degeneracy. Such a simple relationship does not apply in three-dimensional materials.

  9. Mass–luminosity relation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass–luminosity_relation

    Finally, by the virial theorem, the total kinetic energy is equal to half the gravitational potential energy E G, so if the average nuclei mass is m n, then the average kinetic energy per nucleus satisfies: = = where the temperature T is averaged over the star and C is a factor of order one related to the stellar structure and can be estimated ...
