General equation for relativistic momentum

Click For Summary
The discussion centers on finding the most general mathematical form for relativistic momentum that ensures an object's velocity does not exceed the speed of light (c) when subjected to a constant force. The commonly referenced equation is p = mv/√(1-v^2/c^2), which is acknowledged as correct. However, there is uncertainty about whether an alternative form, p = mv/(1-v^2/c^2), would also meet the required condition. The key focus is on understanding the distinction between the most general form and the simplest form of the equation. Ultimately, the discussion seeks clarity on the implications of these formulations in the context of relativistic physics.

Homework Statement



What is the most general mathematical form for the relativistic momentum which will prevent the velocity of an object from becoming greater than c, when the object is acted on by a constant force F and the equation of motion is dp/dt=F

Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution



p= mv/√(1-v^2/c^2 )

I know that this equation is correct, but I'm not sure if it is the simplest form.

Hmm... well I'm not entirely sure what the question is getting at. But consider this: would p= mv/(1-v^2/c^2) satisfy the condition? (namely would it prevent the velocity of the object from exceeding c?)

Note that the question is asking for the most general form, not the simplest form.
