Bjarne Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 According to the theory of relativity stabile acceleration will require more and more energy, or the speed will gradually drop How can the influence of the speed decrease be calculated (which equation can I use) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xyzt Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 According to the theory of relativity stabile acceleration will require more and more energy, or the speed will gradually drop How can the influence of the speed decrease be calculated (which equation can I use) Plot [math]v(t)=\frac{at}{\sqrt{1+(at/c)^2}}[/math] as a function of [math]t[/math] for various values of the parameter [math]a[/math] (acceleration) on the same graph paper.

swansont Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Note that the speed does not decrease under a positive acceleration. The speed increase is affected, since the asymptotic speed is c Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
