What is the formula for the relativistic velocity transformation for vx in terms of v’x?
What is the transformation equation for the y-component of velocity from O to O′?
What is the transformation equation for the z-component of velocity from O to O′?
What is the transformation equation for the y-component of velocity from O′ to O?
What is the transformation equation for the z-component of velocity from O′ to O?
Why do the y- and z-components of velocity transform differently from the x-component?
Time dilation affects all velocity components.
The x-component is influenced by the relative motion between frames.
The y- and z-components are adjusted by a Lorentz factor γ due to relativistic effects.
What happens to the y- and z-components when V≪c?
The transformations reduce to the Galilean case
