[edit] Summary

Description

Log-Log Plot of velocity parameters: coordinate (v/c), Lorentz factor (γ), rapidity (η) and K/mc^2 (γ-1) versus proper (w/c) velocity or p/m where c is lightspeed, m is mass, p is momentum, and K is kinetic energy. Note how v/c tracks w/c at low speeds, while γ does this at high speeds. If the elbowed curve (γ-1) is plotted against parameters multiplied by a range of masses, one obtains a family of kinetic energy versus momentum dispersion curves that makes contact with much of modern and everyday physics.
