Step 1 of 5: Relativistic momentum
p⃗=γmv⃗,γ=11−v2/c2\vec p = \gamma m\vec v,\qquad \gamma = \frac{1}{\sqrt{1-v^2/c^2}}
Analysis

In special relativity, the quantity conserved in every inertial frame is no longer mv⃗m\vec v but p⃗=γmv⃗\vec p = \gamma m\vec v (with mm the rest mass — an intrinsic, frame-independent constant of the body). For v≪cv \ll c, γ→1\gamma \to 1 and p⃗\vec p falls back to the classical mv⃗m\vec v.
