三維加速度
在牛頓力學與狹義相對論中,三維加速度或座標加速度的定義保持一致。
a
=
(
a
x
,
a
y
,
a
z
)
{\displaystyle \mathbf {a} =\left(a_{x},\ a_{y},\ a_{z}\right)}
是速度
u
=
(
u
x
,
u
y
,
u
z
)
{\displaystyle \mathbf {u} =\left(u_{x},\ u_{y},\ u_{z}\right)}
對座標時間的一階導數 ,亦即是位置
r
=
(
x
,
y
,
z
)
{\displaystyle \mathbf {r} =\left(x,\ y,\ z\right)}
對座標時間的二階導數:
a
=
d
u
d
t
=
d
2
r
d
t
2
{\displaystyle \mathbf {a} ={\frac {d\mathbf {u} }{dt}}={\frac {d^{2}\mathbf {r} }{dt^{2}}}}
。
然而在另一相異的慣性參考系中做三維加速度測量時,兩項理論的預測就出現重大歧異。牛頓力學中,時間是絕對的(
t
′
=
t
{\displaystyle t'=t}
),採用的慣性系轉換式為伽利略轉換 。因此,從伽利略轉換推導而得的三維加速度在所有慣性系中皆相同:[ 4]
a
=
a
′
{\displaystyle \mathbf {a} =\mathbf {a} '}
。
相反地,在狹義相對論中,
r
{\displaystyle \mathbf {r} }
與
t
{\displaystyle t}
兩者皆與勞侖茲轉換相依,因此三維加速度
a
{\displaystyle \mathbf {a} }
及其分量在不同慣性系也各不相同。當慣性系間的相對速度是沿著x軸,即
v

v
x
{\displaystyle v=v_{x}}

為相對應的勞侖茲因子 ),勞侖茲轉換式為:

為了求得三維加速度的轉換式,必須分別對勞侖茲轉換式中的空間座標
r
{\displaystyle \mathbf {r} }
及
r

{\displaystyle \mathbf {r} '}
做時間
t
{\displaystyle t}
與

的微分。首先是得到三維速度

的轉換式(亦稱為速度加成式 );爾後再次做時間

此轉換式表示:若有兩慣性系
S

與

{\displaystyle S'}
,兩者相對速度
v

,則
S
{\displaystyle S}
系中測到一物體瞬時速度為
u
{\displaystyle \mathbf {u} }
、加速度為
a
{\displaystyle \mathbf {a} }
,該物體在
S

{\displaystyle S'}
系中則具有瞬時速度
u

{\displaystyle \mathbf {u} '}
、加速度
a

{\displaystyle \mathbf {a} '}
。一如速度加成式,這些加速度轉換式可保證一物體無法加速到光速 ,遑論超過光速 。
四維加速度
若改採用四維向量 ,即

乃四維速度 ,則一物體的四維加速度

{\displaystyle \gamma =1/{\sqrt {1-u^{2}/c^{2}}}}
。若只考慮空間分量且速度是沿著x方向(即

),且只考慮與速度平行(x方向)或垂直(y、z方向)的加速度,則關係式可簡化為:[ 15] [ 16]

另外固有加速度與四維加速度的長度也有密切關係:如前述,四維加速度的長度為不變量,可在瞬間共動慣性系

{\displaystyle |\mathbf {A} '|={\sqrt {0+\left.\mathbf {a} ^{0}\right.^{2}}}=|\mathbf {a} ^{0}|}
。 4b
因此四維加速度長度對應到固有加速度長度。將此結果與式(3 )結合,可得到將

{\displaystyle |\mathbf {a} ^{0}|=|\mathbf {A} |={\sqrt {\gamma ^{4}\left[\mathbf {a} ^{2}+\gamma ^{2}\left({\frac {\mathbf {u} \cdot \mathbf {a} }{c}}\right)^{2}\right]}}}
從這裡可得到式(4a ),只要再次採用如下條件:速度沿著x方向(
u

{\displaystyle u=u_{x}}
),只考慮與速度平行(x方向)或垂直(y、z方向)的加速度。

{\displaystyle \mathbf {F} =\gamma \left((\mathbf {f} \cdot \mathbf {u} )/c,\ \mathbf {f} \right)}
。四維力、四維加速度(式(2 ))以及不變質量

{\displaystyle \mathbf {F} =m\mathbf {A} }
[ 24] ;因此可得[ 25]

牛頓力學中,將質量簡單定義為三維力與三維加速度的比值;此想法在狹義相對論中變為拙劣,因為這樣定義的質量將與速度的大小及方向相依。是故如下曾出現在舊版教科書中的質量定義在當代已捨棄不用:[ 28] [ 29] [ H 6]

勞侖茲提到了他無法決定

{\displaystyle \epsilon =1}
,則他的關係式會跟相對論關係式一模一樣。
1904年:勞侖茲[ H 6] 以更詳盡的方法推導初上述關係式,採用了靜止於系統

{\displaystyle m=e^{2}/(6\pi c^{2}R)}
。他更進一步地闡述:這些數學式不只適用於帶電粒子的力與質量,也適用於其他過程,因此使得乙太中地球運動的影響無法被偵測出來。

1905年:阿爾伯特·愛因斯坦 [ H 10] 以其狹義相對論為基礎,推導出運動方程式 。此表示出等價慣性系之間的關係,而不需要用到機械式乙太。愛因斯坦總結到,在一瞬時慣性系

1909年:馬克斯·玻恩 [ H 11] denotes the motion with constant magnitude of Minkowski's acceleration vector as "hyperbolic motion" (德語:Hyperbelbewegung ), in the course of his study of rigidly accelerated motion . He set

and

Born derived the hyperbolic equation

{\displaystyle x^{2}-c^{2}t^{2}=\xi ^{2}}
, and defined the magnitude of acceleration as

/

{\displaystyle b=c^{2}/\xi }
. He also noticed that his transformation can be used to transform into a "hyperbolically accelerated reference system" (德語:hyperbolisch beschleunigtes Bezugsystem ).
1909年:古斯塔夫·黑格洛茲 [ H 14] extends Born's investigation to all possible cases of rigidly accelerated motion, including uniform rotation.
1910年:阿諾·索末菲 [ H 15] brought Born's formulas for hyperbolic motion in a more concise form with
l

{\displaystyle l=ict}
as the imaginary time variable and
φ
{\displaystyle \varphi }
as an imaginary angle:

,
z
=

,
l
=
r
sin
φ
{\displaystyle x=r\cos \varphi ,\quad y=y',\quad z=z',\quad l=r\sin \varphi }
He noted that when
r
,
y
,
z
{\displaystyle r,y,z}
are variable and
φ
{\displaystyle \varphi }
is constant, they describe the worldline of a charged body in hyperbolic motion. But if
r
,
y
,
z
{\displaystyle r,y,z}
are constant and
φ
{\displaystyle \varphi }
is variable, they denote the transformation into its rest frame.
1911年:索末菲[ H 3] explicitly used the expression "proper acceleration" (德語:Eigenbeschleunigung ) for the quantity
v

1911年:馬克斯·馮·勞厄 [ H 2] derived in the first edition of his monograph "Das Relativitätsprinzip" the transformation for three-acceleration by differentiation of the velocity addition

equivalent to (1c ) as well as to Poincaré (1905/6). From that he derived the transformation of rest acceleration (equivalent to 4a ), and eventually the formulas for hyperbolic motion which corresponds to (8 ):

equivalent to (6a ) as well as to Poincaré (1905).
1912年-1914年:弗里德里希·科特勒 [ 51] obtained general covariance of Maxwell's equations , and used four-dimensional Frenet-Serret formulas to analyze the Born rigid motions given by Herglotz (1909). He also obtained the proper reference frames for hyperbolic motion and uniform circular motion.
1913年:馮·勞厄[ H 7] replaced in the second edition of his book the transformation of three-acceleration by Minkowski's acceleration vector for which he coined the name "four-acceleration" (德語:Viererbeschleunigung ), defined by
Y
˙

{\displaystyle {\dot {Y}}={\frac {dY}{d\tau }}}
with

as four-velocity. He showed, that the magnitude of four-acceleration corresponds to the rest acceleration

which corresponds to (4b ). Subsequently, he derived the same formulas as in 1911 for the transformation of rest acceleration and hyperbolic motion, and the hyperbolic reference frame.
