Proper Length

The theory of special relativity explains the connection between space and time to objects that move in a straight line at a constant speed. The objects move at the speed of light. When an object approaches light speed, its mass is endless and cannot move faster than light. The most crucial postulate of Einstein's special relativity is that the laws of nature do not change in each frame of reference.

That did answer a lot of questions. Thank you. But where do you derive the equation E=(K|q|)/r? My book says E=(K|q|)/r^2. I tried re-arranging some equations to get your equation, but I can't figure it out. Thanks.

For example, for the equation r TV, if G = y and V = x, what represents m? If we solve for G, then G = rTV = (rTt)V. We have now put it in the form of y= (m)* x. Writing it like this, we can easily identify rTt as the slope m. a) For the equation: Rx = = Rk b) For the equation: VAB = R₁ -Vo if Rx 1 1+ R2 2 = y and R₂ = x, what is m? ARx, if VAB = y and ARx Rk = x, what is m?
