Combining 3-momentum and kinetic energy on Galilei/Newton spacetime

Published 10 Sep 2019 in physics.gen-ph | (1909.06171v4)

Abstract: Without the mass-energy equivalence available on Minkowski spacetime $\mathbb{M}$, it is not possible on 4-dimensional non-relativistic Galilei/Newton spacetime $\mathbb{G}$ to combine 3-momentum and total mass-energy in a single tensor object. However, given a fiducial frame, it is possible to combine 3-momentum and kinetic energy into a linear form (particle) or $(1,1)$ tensor (continuum) in a manner that exhibits increased unity of classical mechanics on flat relativistic and non-relativistic spacetimes $\mathbb{M}$ and $\mathbb{G}$. As on $\mathbb{M}$, for a material continuum on $\mathbb{G}$, the First Law of Thermodynamics can be considered a consequence of a unified dynamical law for energy-momentum rather than an independent postulate.
