What is remarkable is that as famous as the energy-mass equivalence equation is, precious few know what it really means, which is too bad, because this concept is the pinnacle of special relativity for good reason.

This means that the solutions provided here are incomplete, as they will refer back to the analysis performed for information (i.e. the full solution is essentially split between the analysis earlier and details here). If you have not yet spent time working on (not simply reading!) the analysis of these situations, these sample problems will be of little benefit to your studies. Solution

Here we will develop a more general mathematical framework to link inertial frames in relative motion which will work for the results we have already obtained, as well as any other new ideas that might come along.
- https://phys.libretexts.org/Courses/University_of_California_Davis/UCD%3A_Classical_Mechanics/5%3A_Rotations_and_Rigid_Bodies/5.2%3A_Rotational_InertiaWith the basics of rotational motion and inertia now in hand, we take on the topic of dynamics. We do so by closely paralleling what we know from linear dynamics.
- https://phys.libretexts.org/Courses/University_of_California_Davis/UCD%3A_Physics_9C__Electricity_and_Magnetism/1%3A_Electrostatic_FieldsWe begin with a study of electric fields due to static charge distributions.
- https://phys.libretexts.org/Courses/University_of_California_Davis/UCD%3A_Physics_9B_Lab/Lab_9%3A_A_Heat_EngineWe extract work from an engine using two thermal reservoirs.
- https://phys.libretexts.org/Courses/University_of_California_Davis/UCD%3A_Physics_9C_Lab/Lab_8%3A_InductanceWe measure the voltage as a function of time through an inductor in a circuit with resistance, and use a best-fit graph to determine its inductance.
- https://phys.libretexts.org/Courses/University_of_California_Davis/Physics_9B_Fall_2020_Taufour/06%3A_Applications_of_ThermodynamicsHere we explore applications of thermodynamics, including what limitations the laws of thermodynamics impose on these applications.
