The relativistic equation of motion for a particle of constant mass m moving along the x axis under the action of force F is dtd?(?mx?)=F where ?=(1?c2x?2?)?21? and c is a constant (speed of light). If the force F is a constant a. Show that the distance travelled from rest in time t is given by x=Fmc2?{(1+m2c2F2t2?)21??1} b. Obtain the potential energy function via the classical definition and show that the total energy is conserved if the kinetic energy is defined by T=?mc2.
