Synonym2:
Synonym3:
Symbol: p__
Definition: four-dimensional generalization of three-dimensional momentum p of an object:

p__=(jE/c0;γp)

where E is sum of its rest energy (m0c20) and its kinetic energy

Note 1 to entry: p__=m0u__ where m0 is the rest mass and u__ is four-velocity

Note 2 to entry: The coherent SI unit of four-momentum is kilogram metre per second, kgms1.
