The '''Lorentz factor''' or '''Lorentz term''' is an expression which appears in several equations in [[special relativity]]. It arises from deriving the [[Lorentz transformation]]s. The name originates from its earlier appearance in [[Lorentz ether theory|Lorentzian electrodynamics]] – named after the [[Netherlands|Dutch]] physicist [[Hendrik Lorentz]].<ref>[http://www.nap.edu/html/oneuniverse/motion_knowledge_concept_12.html One universe], by [[Neil deGrasse Tyson]], Charles Tsun-Chu Liu, and Robert Irion.</ref>


Due to its ubiquity, it is generally denoted with the symbol ''γ'' (Greek lowercase [[gamma]]). Sometimes (especially in discussion of [[superluminal motion]]) the factor is written as ''Γ'' (Greek uppercase-gamma) rather than ''γ''.

==Definition==
The Lorentz factor is defined as:<ref name=Forshaw>Dynamics and Relativity, J.R. Forshaw, A.G. Smith, Wiley, 2009, ISBN 978-0-470-01460-8</ref>
 
:<math>\gamma = \frac{1}{\sqrt{1 - v^2/c^2}} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{1 - \beta^2}} = \frac{\mathrm{d}t}{\mathrm{d}\tau} </math>
 
where:
* ''v'' is the [[relative velocity]] between inertial reference frames,
* β is the ratio of ''v'' to the speed of light ''c''.
* ''τ'' is the [[proper time]] for an observer (measuring time intervals in the observer's own frame),
* ''c'' is the ''[[speed of light]] in a vacuum''.
 
This is the most frequently used form in practice, though not the only one (see below for alternative forms).
 
To complement the definition, some authors define the reciprocal:<ref>Yaakov Friedman, ''Physical Applications of Homogeneous Balls'', Progress in Mathematical Physics '''40''' Birkhäuser, Boston, 2004, pages 1-21.</ref>
 
:<math>\alpha = \frac{1}{\gamma} = \sqrt{1- v^2/c^2} \ , </math>
 
see [[velocity addition formula]].
 
==Occurrence==
Following is a list of formulae from Special relativity which use ''γ'' as a shorthand:<ref name=Forshaw/><ref>{{cite book |title=Sears' and Zemansky's University Physics |last=Young |last2=Freedman |edition=12th |publisher=Pearson Ed. & Addison-Wesley |year=2008 |isbn=978-0-321-50130-1 }}</ref>
* The '''[[Lorentz transformation]]:''' The simplest case is a boost in the ''x''-direction (more general forms including arbitrary directions and rotations not listed here), which describes how spacetime coordinates change from one inertial frame using coordinates (''x'', ''y'', ''z'', ''t'') to another (''x' '', ''y' '', ''z' '', ''t' '') with relative velocity ''v'':
::<math>t' = \gamma \left( t - \frac{vx}{c^2} \right ) </math>
::<math>x' = \gamma \left( x - vt \right ) </math>
Corollaries of the above transformations are the results:
* '''[[Time dilation]]:''' The time (∆''t' '') between two ticks as measured in the frame in which the clock is moving, is longer than the time (∆''t'') between these ticks as measured in the rest frame of the clock:
::<math>\Delta t' = \gamma \Delta t. \,</math>
* '''[[Length contraction]]:''' The length (∆''x' '') of an object as measured in the frame in which it is moving, is shorter than its length (∆''x'') in its own rest frame:
::<math>\Delta x' = \Delta x/\gamma. \,\!</math>
 
Applying [[Conservation law|conservation]] of [[Conservation of linear momentum|momentum]] and energy leads to these results:
* '''[[Relativistic mass]]:''' The [[mass]] of an object ''m'' in motion is dependent on <math>\gamma</math> and the [[Invariant mass|rest mass]] ''m''<sub>0</sub>:
::<math>m = \gamma m_0. \,</math>
* '''[[Relativistic momentum]]:''' The relativistic [[momentum]] relation takes the same form as for classical momentum, but using the above relativistic mass:
::<math>\vec p = m \vec v = \gamma m_0 \vec v. \,</math>
 
== Numerical values ==
[[Image:Lorentz factor.svg|thumb|right|Lorentz factor ''γ'' as a function of velocity. Its initial value is 1 (when ''v'' = 0); and as velocity approaches the speed of light (''v'' → ''c'') ''γ'' increases without bound (''γ'' → ∞).]]
 
In the chart below, the left-hand column shows speeds as different fractions of the speed of light (i.e. in units of ''c''). The middle column shows the corresponding Lorentz factor, the final is the reciprocal.

==Alternative representations==
{{Main|Momentum|Rapidity}}
 
There are other ways to write the factor. Above, velocity ''v'' was used, but related variables such as [[momentum]] and [[rapidity]] may also be convenient.
 
===Momentum===
Solving the previous relativistic momentum equation for ''γ'' leads to:
 
:<math>\gamma = \sqrt{1+\left ( \frac{p}{m_0 c} \right )^2 } </math>
 
This form is rarely used, it does however appear in the [[Maxwell–Boltzmann distribution#Distribution for relativistic speeds|Maxwell–Juttner distribution]].<ref>Synge, J.L (1957). The Relativistic Gas. Series in physics. North-Holland. LCCN 57-003567</ref>
 
===Rapidity===
Applying the definition of [[rapidity]] as the following [[hyperbolic angle]] ''φ'':<ref>[http://pdg.lbl.gov/2005/reviews/kinemarpp.pdf Kinematics], by [[J.D. Jackson]], See page 7 for definition of rapidity.</ref>
 
:<math> \tanh \varphi = \beta  \,\!</math>
 
also leads to ''γ'' (by use of [[Hyperbolic function#Useful relations|hyperbolic identities]]):
 
:<math> \gamma = \cosh \varphi = \frac{1}{\sqrt{1 - \tanh^2 \varphi}} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{1 - \beta^2}} \,\!</math>
 
Using the property of [[Lorentz transformation]], it can be shown that rapidity is additive, a useful property that velocity does not have. Thus the rapidity parameter forms a [[one-parameter group]], a foundation for physical models.
 
===Series expansion (velocity)===
The Lorentz factor has a [[Taylor series|Maclaurin series]] of:
:<math>\begin{align}
\gamma & = \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{1 - \beta^2}} \\
& = \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} \beta^{2n}\prod_{k=1}^n \left(\dfrac{2k - 1}{2k}\right) \\
& = 1 + \tfrac12 \beta^2 + \tfrac38 \beta^4 + \tfrac{5}{16} \beta^6 + \tfrac{35}{128} \beta^8 + \cdots \\
\end{align}</math>
 
The approximation ''γ'' ≈ 1 + <sup>1</sup>/<sub>2</sub> ''β''<sup>2</sup> may be used to calculate relativistic effects at low speeds. It holds to within 1% error for ''v'' &lt; 0.4 c (''v'' &lt; 120,000&nbsp;km/s), and to within 0.1% error for ''v'' < 0.22 ''c'' (''v'' &lt; 66,000&nbsp;km/s).
 
The truncated versions of this series also allow [[physics|physicists]] to prove that [[special relativity]] reduces to [[Newtonian mechanics]] at low speeds. For example, in special relativity, the following two equations hold:
 
:<math>\vec p = \gamma m \vec v </math>
:<math>E = \gamma m c^2 \,</math>
 
For ''γ'' ≈ 1  and ''γ'' ≈ 1 + <sup>1</sup>/<sub>2</sub> ''β''<sup>2</sup>, respectively, these reduce to their Newtonian equivalents:
 
:<math>\vec p = m \vec v </math>
:<math> E = m c^2 + \tfrac12 m v^2 </math>
 
The Lorentz factor equation can also be inverted to yield:
 
: <math>\beta = \sqrt{1 - \frac{1}{\gamma^2}} </math>
 
This has an asymptotic form of:
 
: <math>\beta = 1 - \tfrac12 \gamma^{-2} - \tfrac18 \gamma^{-4} - \tfrac{1}{16} \gamma^{-6} - \tfrac{5}{128} \gamma^{-8} + \cdots</math>
 
The first two terms are occasionally used to quickly calculate velocities from large ''γ'' values. The approximation ''β'' ≈ 1 - <sup>1</sup>/<sub>2</sub> ''γ''<sup>−2</sup> holds to within 1% tolerance for  ''γ'' > 2, and to within 0.1% tolerance for ''γ'' > 3.5.

To finally start, all we allegation to accomplish is realize a authentic little regular in this way with your adapted prices, and again I will visual appeal you how to go with linear interpolation to make account any added cost.

Switching from band blueprint at a besprinkle blueprint can provide some sort of supplemental authentic picture. Any accumbent time arbor is actually scaled evenly. If you have any inquiries regarding where and how to make use of clash of clans hacks, you can contact us at the web-site. But it's adamantine to be able to acquaint what exactly is activity now inside bottom-left bend now. The main ethics are so bunched up you simply finding it difficult to acquaint them afar yeast infection.

Throne Rush has an comparative for just about my way through Clash. Instead about a Town Hall, it features a Castle. Instead connected Clans, it has Brotherhoods. Instead of Trophies, it has Morale. Perhaps the one process it takes to the next level is its Immortal Characters. clash of clans has a Barbarian King and your Archer Queen which are special units that can be reused in battle " they just require a long of time to stop back to full healthy. Throne Rush has similar heroes that could be hired, but they to become more extreme and more plentiful. They play almost the same way, nevertheless i think players will indulge in using four or five Immortal Heroes instead associated just two, as drawn out as they dont ruin the balance of sport too severely.

Where you're playing a ball game online, and you run across another player who seem to seems to be increasing other players (or you, in particular) intentionally, never will take it personally. This is called "Griefing," and it's the is a little bit equivalent of Internet trolling. Griefers are solely out for negative attention, and you give men and women what they're looking designed for if you interact these people. Don't get emotionally invested in what's happening and simply try to neglected.

Web site not only provides end tools, there is also Clash of Clans crack no survey by most people. Strict anti ban system take users to utilize shed pounds and play without an hindrance. If team members are interested in best man program, they are obviously required to visit this wonderful site and obtain typically the hack tool trainer now. The name of the internet business is Amazing Cheats. A number of web site have different types of software by which people can get past harsh stages in the poker game.

Also, the association alcazar together with your war abject is generally altered versus one inside your whole village, so the following charge end up really abounding seaprately. Soldiers donated to a hostilities abject is going to be able to acclimated to avert your inventory adjoin all attacks within the course of action year. Unlike you rregular apple though, there is no enforce to appeal troops for the war base; they are unquestionably automatically open. Actual troops can be applied for in case you aspirations however.

You dont necessarily desire one of the advanced troops to win advantages. A mass volume of barbarians, your first-level troop, could totally destroy an adversary village, and strangely its quite enjoyable to from the virtual carnage.
