I GOT INTO HONORS PHYSICS Y'ALL!

I got switched into it today! I'm so happy, it's thanks, in part, to you guys too. So for me, give yourselves a pat on the back.

ITT we talk about relative velocities and why matter can never exceed the speed of light. Having a bit of trouble understanding the ideas behind Einsteins math.

mainly why is it exactly that mass ways more the faster you go?

High school Honors Physics

Same course as regular physics, just no guidos and bimbos.

I learned the hard way too anon underage b&

>> No.1781436

okay I'll put it into context:

say object x has a mass of 1g and is traveling at 10mph. What will be it's weight if it's speed increases to .995(c)? Why can't an object then slow down just a bit then increase it's speed again? Wouldn't this release the weight constraint?

true there's no dumb niggaz' but they're are the pretentious white fold who have no idea what they're doing.

Also I'm 18 so suck-a my balls-a.

honors is very different from normal physics, we weren't even doing labs in the normal course, we also get to learn a bit about theoretical physics and the like.

LOL

CHRIST my bad, what I mean is: Why does the weight of an object increase as its speed increases?

>> No.1781460

Mass doesn't change. Mass-energy is the thing that changes. This is the way I've been taught and it makes more sense to me.

>mass ways more the faster you go
You got it here first from Honors Physics student #526363OPISAFAG

>> No.1781466

>>1781454
Because the speed of light is the same in every reference frame.

>> No.1781467

HEY OP yor in algebra

>> No.1781470

OP here, why does this dick I have in my ass way more than my dick?

>> No.1781497

>>1781467
yes i am in algebra II, learning calculus though :P

>> No.1781543

so is there a question left?
if so, state it.
