With the relativistic velocity addition law through special relativity

Abstract

It is shown that if we can define a physical quantity with proper character in a given inertial reference frame (kinematic, dynamic, electromagnetic in its nature) which transforms when detected from a reference frame relative to which it moves with velocity uxu_x as F=\fFo1\fux2c2F=\f{F^o}{\sqrt{1-\f{u_x^2}{c^2}}} then we can derive for it transformation equations following one and the same procedure, which involves the addition law of relativistic velocities which can be derived without using the Lorentz transformations. The transformation equation derived that way, generates the physical quantities uxFu_xF and uxFu_x'F', for which physicists invent names reflecting theirs physical meaning.
