Relativistic mechanics is a branch of physics that deals with the motion of objects moving at speeds comparable to the speed of light (denoted as "c"). It is an essential aspect of engineering physics, as it plays a crucial role in understanding and predicting the behavior of particles and systems traveling at relativistic speeds.
In classical mechanics, formulated by Sir Isaac Newton, the laws of motion work well for objects moving at speeds much lower than the speed of light. However, when objects approach the speed of light, classical mechanics fail to accurately describe their behavior, and relativistic effects become significant.
