Four-force




:F^a:= {dP^a \over d au}.

Since P^a = m_0U^a where ''m''0 is the Rest Mass and ''Ua'' is the Four-velocity , we can relate the four-force with the Four-acceleration as like Newton's Second Law :

:F^a = m_0A^a = \left(\gamma\dot mc,\gamma\mathbf f ight).

Here, m = m_0\gamma is the Relativistic Mass and \mathbf f=m_0\left(\dot\gamma\mathbf u+\gamma\mathbf{\dot u} ight).
