This simulation models the motion of particles under constant force in one dimension, accounting for relativistic effects as velocities approach the speed of light. Learners can explore how relativistic dynamics differs from classical mechanics, observe the relationship between force and acceleration, and investigate how momentum and energy behave at extreme velocities.
Learning objectives: Understand how relativistic effects modify particle motion under constant force | Compare classical and relativistic predictions for high-speed dynamics | Analyze the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration in relativistic systems
