This series helps teachers demystify physics by showing students what it looks like. Field trips to hot-air balloon events, symphony concerts, bicycle shops, and other locales make complex concepts more accessible. Inventive computer graphics illustrate abstract concepts such as time, force, and capacitance, while historical reenactments of the studies of Newton, Leibniz, Maxwell, and others trace the evolution of theories. The Mechanical Universe helps meet different students' needs, from the basic requirements of liberal arts students to the rigorous demands of science and engineering majors. This series is also valuable for teacher professional development. Produced by the California Institute of Technology and Intelecom. 1985. Lesson 44: Mass, Momentum, Energy The new meaning of space and time make it necessary to formulate a new mechanics. Starting from the conservation of momentum, it turns out among other things that E = mc 2. Instructional Objectives * Be able to state the definition of relativistic momentum and e equations relating kinetic energy and the total energy of a particle to its speed. * Be able to discuss the relation between mass and energy in Special Relativity and compute the binding energy of various systems from the known rest masses of their constituents. * Be able to discuss the concept of relativistic mass.
