Both calculators run independently — change the inputs on either side to compare results.
Relativity
Lorentz Factor Calculator
Compute the Lorentz factor γ = 1/√(1 − (v/c)²), the central quantity of special relativity that scales time dilation, length contraction, relativistic mass, momentum, and energy. Returns a dimensionless number ≥ 1.
Fill in the required fields to see your result.
Relativity
Relativistic Momentum Calculator
Compute the relativistic momentum p = γmv of a particle from its rest mass and velocity. Reduces to classical mv at low speeds but grows without bound as velocity approaches c.
