The theory of special relativity explains the connection between space and time to objects that move in a straight line at a constant speed. The objects move at the speed of light. When an object approaches light speed, its mass is endless and cannot move faster than light. The most crucial postulate of Einstein's special relativity is that the laws of nature do not change in each frame of reference.

Like friction, drag force opposes the motion of a particle in a fluid; however, drag force depends on the particle's velocity. Find the expression for the particle's velocity v(x) as a function of position at any point x in a fluid whose drag force is expressed as Fdrag = kmv where k is a constant, m is the mass of the particle and v is its velocity. Assume that the particle is constrained to move in the x-axis only with an initial velocity v0. Solution: The net force along the x-axis is: ΣF = -F = m then: -mv = m Since acceleration is the first time derivative of velocity a = dv/dt, -mv = m We can eliminate time dt by expressing, the velocity on the left side of the equation as v = dx/dt. Manipulating the variables and simplifying, we arrive at the following expression / = -k "Isolating" the infinitesimal velocity dx and integrating with respect to dx, we arrive at the following: = v0 - which shows that velocity decreases in a linear manner.
