Abstract
This study, serving as Part-2 of the research titled "Comparative Analysis of Length Deformation in Classical and Relativistic Mechanics," investigates the behaviour of matter within gravitationally bound systems. Through meticulous examination of projected length alterations, the research highlights differences between classical and relativistic mechanics frameworks, emphasizing the necessity of considering relativistic effects beyond velocity alone. Additionally, the study underscores the crucial role of gravitational effects on the effective mass of moving objects, which emerges as a critical factor in predicting length deformation across scientific disciplines. The incomplete treatment of relativistic effects within Relativistic Mechanics, including acceleration and material stiffness, emphasizes the importance of comprehensively understanding gravitational influences on effective mass. This is evident in gravitational equations, where the gravitational force depends not only on the object's mass but also on its effective mass, influenced by kinetic energy. Thus, incorporating the gravitational effect on effective mass enhances the understanding of length deformation phenomena within gravitationally bound systems, enriching scientific discourse.

Introduction

Understanding the behaviour of matter under extreme conditions, particularly at high velocities, is a fundamental pursuit in physics. Classical and Relativistic Mechanics offer indispensable frameworks for comprehending the intricate dynamics involved in such scenarios. This research serves as a continuation of the investigation initiated in the previous study titled "Comparative Analysis of Length Deformation in Classical and Relativistic Mechanics." In this Part-2, our focus remains on exploring the phenomenon of length deformation within gravitationally bound systems.
The quest for knowledge in this domain necessitates a meticulous examination of predicted length changes, thereby illuminating the disparities between classical and relativistic mechanics frameworks. While classical mechanics provides a robust foundation rooted in principles like Hooke's Law, Relativistic Mechanics introduces nuanced considerations, particularly concerning the interplay of velocity and gravitational effects.
Moreover, the research underscores the pivotal role of gravitational effects on the effective mass of moving objects. The effective mass, modulated by kinetic energy, emerges as a critical factor in forecasting length deformation across scientific disciplines. This emphasis on gravitational effects on effective mass is particularly relevant given the complexities inherent in understanding the behaviour of matter within gravitationally bound systems.
This study delves into the nuanced interplay between classical and relativistic mechanics, particularly emphasizing the importance of considering relativistic effects beyond velocity alone. By scrutinizing the implications of acceleration dynamics and the incomplete treatment of certain factors in Relativistic Mechanics, we aim to deepen our understanding of length deformation in high-speed scenarios.
Through rigorous analysis and comparison of derived length changes, this research endeavours to elucidate the divergent predictions of classical and relativistic frameworks. Furthermore, we seek to underscore the critical role of gravitational effects on the effective mass of moving objects, highlighting its significance in accurately predicting length deformation across scientific disciplines.
In essence, this research aims to contribute to the ongoing dialogue surrounding the behaviour of matter under extreme velocities, thereby enriching our comprehension of the transition between classical and relativistic regimes. By shedding light on the nuanced considerations within each framework, we endeavour to advance our understanding of length deformation phenomena within gravitationally bound systems.

Mathematical Presentation

Example Calculation
To illustrate the application of the methodology, we calculate the effective mass mᵉᶠᶠ and corresponding length deformation in classical mechanics:
1.
Given Values:
  • m (inertial mass): 10 grams = 0.01 kg
  • v (velocity): 2997924.58 m/s = 0.01c
  • t (time): 10000 seconds
  • ΔL (length change): 0.1 millimetres = 0.0001 meters
2.
Calculate Acceleration:
a = v/t = (2997924.58 m/s) / (10000 s) = 299.792458 m/s²
In the given equation:
  • v is the initial velocity of the object, which is 2997924.58 meters per second (approximately the speed of light).
  • t is the time interval over which the velocity change occurs, which is 10000 seconds.
  • a is the resulting acceleration, which is 299.792458 meters per second squared.
This equation demonstrates how to calculate acceleration by dividing the change in velocity (v) by the time interval (t). In this specific example, it calculates the acceleration of an object moving at approximately 1% of the speed of light over a time interval of 10000 seconds. The resulting acceleration value is approximately 299.792458 meters per second squared.
3.
Calculate Force:
F = m⋅a
F = 0.01 kg × 299.792458 m/s²
F = 2.99792458 N
In the given example:
  • m is the mass of the object, which is 0.01 kilograms.
  • a is the acceleration of the object, which is 299.792458 meters per second squared.
  • F is the resulting force exerted on the object, which is 2.99792458 Newton.
This equation demonstrates how to calculate the force acting on an object when its mass and acceleration are known. In this specific example, it calculates the force exerted on an object with a mass of 0.01 kilograms experiencing an acceleration of 299.792458 meters per second squared. The resulting force is approximately 2.99792458 Newton.
4.
Explanation:
Based on the force and acceleration provided, mᵉᶠᶠ equals the inertial mass m. This suggests mᵉᶠᶠ represents the dynamic response to the applied force, consistent with Newton's second law.
Total Energy Equation
Eᴛᴏᴛ = PE + KE = m + mᵉᶠᶠ
In the Given Example
  • Eᴛᴏᴛ is the total energy of the object.
  • PE is the potential energy of the object.
  • KE is the kinetic energy of the object.
  • m represents the inertial mass of the object.
  • mᵉᶠᶠ represents the effective mass due to kinetic energy.
Here, m is the rest mass (0.01 kg) and mᵉᶠᶠ is the effective mass due to kinetic energy (0.01 kg).
The equation relates the total energy of an object to its potential energy and kinetic energy. It suggests that the total energy of the object is the sum of its inertial mass m and the effective mass mᵉᶠᶠ due to kinetic energy. This equation accounts for both the rest mass of the object and the additional mass gained due to its motion, represented by the effective mass mᵉᶠᶠ.
5.
Effective Mass Calculation:
mᵉᶠᶠ =F/a
mᵉᶠᶠ = (2.99792458 N)/(299.792458 m/s²)
mᵉᶠᶠ = 0.01kg
  • mᵉᶠᶠ represents the effective mass due to kinetic energy.
6.
Conclusion:
Given the values and steps, the effective mass mᵉᶠᶠ calculated:
mᵉᶠᶠ = 0.01 kg
This is consistent with classical mechanics:
  • Inertial mass m: 0.01 kg
  • Effective mass mᵉᶠᶠ: 0.01 kg
Thus, the force of 2.99792458 N corresponds to the effective mass mᵉᶠᶠ = 0.01 kg due to the given acceleration. The classical mechanics framework holds without relativistic effects, aligning the calculations with Newtonian principles
7.
Gravitational Force Calculation:
Given the mass of Earth m₁, the gravitational force equation considering effective mass is:
F = G·{m₁·(m + mᵉᶠᶠ)}/r²
In the equation:
  • F represents the gravitational force between two objects.
  • G is the universal gravitational constant, approximately 6.674 × 10⁻¹¹ N⋅m²/kg² representing the strength of the gravitational force.
  • m₁ is the mass of one of the objects involved in the interaction, here Earth, 5.972 × 10²⁴ kg.
  • m is the inertial mass of the object, 0.01 kg
  • mᵉᶠᶠ is the effective mass due to kinetic energy, 0.01 kg.
  • r is the distance between the centres of the two objects, 1 metre.
Substitute the values:
F=6.674×10⁻¹¹·{(5.972×10²⁴)·(0.01+ 0.01)}/1²
F ≈ 7.97×10¹² N
Substitute the values:
F=6.674×10⁻¹¹·{(5.972×10²⁴)·(0.01+ 0.01)}/1²
F ≈ 7.97 × 10¹² N
This equation evaluates the gravitational force F acting between two objects. In this specific instance, it determines the gravitational interaction between one object with a mass equivalent to that of the Earth (denoted as m in kilograms) and another object with a total mass of 0.02 kilograms, comprising both its inertial mass m and its effective mass mᵉᶠᶠ. The separation between these objects is fixed at 1 meter. The resultant gravitational force approximates to 7.97 × 10¹² Newton.
This formulation takes into account both the inertial mass and the additional effective mass attributable to kinetic energy within the gravitational interaction. Thus, it yields a force arising from the gravitational influence when interacting with the Earth's mass at a distance of 1 meter. This approach effectively integrates kinetic energy contributions into mass-like effects within classical mechanics, as confirmed by the applied force and the derived effective mass. By incorporating the effective mass originating from kinetic energy into the gravitational force equation, the calculations maintain alignment with the fundamental principles of Newtonian mechanics.
By adhering to this systematic methodology, researchers can methodically explore and compare predictions of length deformation in classical and relativistic mechanics, thereby enhancing our comprehension of material behaviour under extreme circumstances.

Consequence of Gravitational Force in Upward Motion in Space

In the scenario where the motion is directed vertically upward, away from the Earth, the consequence of the gravitational force is a gradual decrease in acceleration as the object moves farther from the Earth's surface. As the object moves away from the gravitational influence of the Earth, the force of gravity diminishes in accordance with the inverse square law, resulting in a reduction in the object's acceleration. Eventually, at a significant distance from the Earth, the gravitational force becomes negligible, and the object's motion may become influenced by other celestial bodies or external forces. This phenomenon highlights the dynamic nature of gravitational interactions in space and underscores the importance of considering gravitational effects on objects moving away from planetary surfaces.
