Project Title: Moving Objects
The purpose of our project will be to calculate potential variables in near
light speed movement of an object. The problem will deal with changes in mass
as a result of speed, effective traveling and energy usage that would be
required in such forms of travel. These problems can be calculated with the
equations of the special and general theories of relativity, as well as the
equations for gravity. This project's importance relates to calculating the
amounts of energy required for such forms of travel, as well as tracking of the
object being moved.
