Hi,
I was wondering if the non-relativistic kinetic energy (or the total energy) of a body in a curved space-time can still be written as
[tex]\frac{\mathbf{p}^2}{2m}[/tex]
As an example, is the kinetic energy [tex]\frac{\mathbf{p}^2}{2m}[/tex] in the Schwarzschild metric for a non-relativistic particle?
Thanks a lot.
