Talk:Energy of a Single Particle
Claimed by Connor Vizon Spring 2018
Energy of a Single Particle There are two ways of envisioning systems in physics: the point particle method and the extended system method. In this page, we will discuss the point particle method, more specifically the energy of this single point particle. This point particle may represent anything from a standard atomic particle (proton, neutron, etc.) to a planet or a star, if we're only choosing to analyze its translational kinetic energy.
The Main Idea
Point particle systems can have two forms of energy, rest energy and kinetic energy. Even if a particle is still, it still has (rest) energy. Kinetic energy is the energy associated with a moving particle.
