Aspectos relativísticos relacionados à massa

Abstract

It is possible to see that the concept of mass, throughout the studies of physics, receives various meanings such as, for example, the concept of inertial mass and gravitational mass, in Newtonian mechanics. But it is when we enter the relativistic relativistic context, that this quantity gains a new meaning, which differs from that conceived by Newton and his predecessors. In this scenario, the concept of relativistic relativistic mass, which is mistakenly presented, in many cases, as a velocity-dependent a velocity-dependent "mass". It is also established in this context, the mass-energy mass-energy relationship is also established, where it is possible to "convert" mass into energy. Motivated by these definitions, we intend, in this paper, to present a review of the concept of mass, in order to understand how it can be "converted" into energy. about the concept of mass in order to contribute to the presentation of a more general concept, free more general concept, free of obscure or doubtful interpretations, abolishing the definition of mass definition of velocity-dependent mass in detriment of the mass-energy relation, where both are the same property that defines a single entity. This entity is intrinsic to the body, which is now manifested as mass and once manifested in other forms of energy.
