Terminal velocity Velocity

AI Thread Summary

The maximum velocity of subatomic particles is fundamentally limited by the speed of light. The mass of a particle at rest influences the energy required to accelerate it to a specific speed. As particles approach light speed, the energy needed for further acceleration increases dramatically, approaching infinity. This relationship highlights the constraints imposed by relativistic physics on particle dynamics. Understanding these principles is crucial for advancements in particle physics and related fields.

for subatomic particles the limit would be lightspeed. For any particle, its mass dictates how much energy would be needed to get it to a certain speed, but approaching light speed the energy required approaches infinity.

Thread 'Is calling fictitious forces "not real" just about terminology?'

Hi there, im studying nanoscience at the university in Basel. Today I looked at the topic of intertial and non-inertial reference frames and the existence of fictitious forces. I understand that you call forces real in physics if they appear in interplay. Meaning that a force is real when there is the "actio" partner to the "reactio" partner. If this condition is not satisfied the force is not real. I also understand that if you specifically look at non-inertial reference frames you can...

Thread 'Inclined treadmills and Galilean Invariance'

This has been discussed many times on PF, and will likely come up again, so the video might come handy.

Thread 'Derivation of Hamilton's Principle: Questions'

I have recently been really interested in the derivation of Hamiltons Principle. On my research I found that with the term

(1) one may derivate

(2). The derivation itself I understood quiet good, but what I don't understand is where the equation (1) came from, because in my research it was just given and not derived from anywhere. Does anybody know where (1) comes from or why from it the...
