Lorentz Factor

Theory & Logic

Theoretical Background

Physics describes the fundamental mechanism of the universe. The Lorentz Factor (γ) is an essential tool for understanding Lorentz Factor (γ) in quantitative terms. Calculate γ = 1 / sqrt(1 - v²/c²).

Mathematical Formulation

The relationship between the variables is governed by the following equation:

Result = 1 ÷ √(1 - (v×v)÷(299792458×299792458))

Problem

Calculating the result when:

  • Velocity = 95 m/s

Solution

Substituting into Eq 1.1:

Result = 1 ÷ √(1 - (95×95)÷(299792458×299792458))
