Hello everyone,
Any object has a gravitational potential energy as a function of the distance from the Earth (R). Does this energy depend only on the rest mass of the object; or one must take into account it's relativistic mass?
In other words, if we imagine two identical bullets on the top of a building with different initial velocities ( towards the earth); will they have the same potential energy?
