It sure looks like a series of divisions.  It is not obviously a fraction.  Math is precise.

FOR ONCE I AGREE WITH THIS IDIOT.

yeah ok i will submit i made a mistake i was reading it as a series of fractions and thats how i wrote the 5.0/0.25 as i say i now accept you are right and your maths work!

No, it's:

w = (u+v)/(1+u*v/c^2)

ok having all of this down common sence tells me that if you drop an object accelerating at 9.81m/s^2 and leave it for 1 second it will be moving at 9.81m/s.  so 0+9.81=9.81 9.81/(1+0)=9.81 9.81/300000000=3.27*10^-8 still not 9.81m/s maybe im still miss understanding

Good Lord!

w = (0 + 9.81)/(1+0*9.81/c^2) = 9.81

Since when did they use the relativistic velocity addition formula for 9.8ms/s?

9.8ms/s?  Is that milliseconds/second?  Do you mean m/s^2?  What about 9.8?

O wow I missed that. 

But anyway, who uses the velocity addition formula for such slow speeds.  Let alone accelerations

Well if you want to be accurate, you had better use it.  If your speeds get rather high, then you better start using it.

Ok please use that equation for values A and B where A = 9.8m/s/s and B= 10m/s/s.  Also what value for C will you use, because I dont know the acceleration of light value.

Obviously you've never taken a class in Relativity.  Acceleration is absolute.  The equation I provided is for velocity addition.

did i do it wrong again with the series of divisions as u said it was cause the answer does not come out as 9.8! i have only just seen this equation but it doesnt work for the gravitational accelration u are suggesting maybe u need to learn relativity

I called it the velocity addition formula.

I called it the velocity addition formula.

You guys were using 9.81m/s/s, I missed the part where he took of the acceleration part to just make 9.8m/s.  SO it looked like you were using it for acceleration.   But either way there is no reason to use that formula at such slow speeds.  It will be accurate just adding them together.  

I have take physics that covers the relativistic equations.

There is no way you are in college.  If you are, you must be no further than basic algebra.

Look:

w = (u + v) / (1 + u*v/ c^2)

Let's take this slowly.

u = 0.  This is our current velocity, and we are starting at rest.
v = 9.8m/s.  This is our additional velocity, due to accelerating at 9.8 m/s^2 for 1 second.

Now, (u + v) = (0 + 9.8 ) = 9.8.

(1 + u*v/c^2) = (1 + 0*9.8/c^2) = (1 + 0) = 1.

Therefore, w = 9.8/1 = 9.8.

But you can't just add them together at relativistic velocities.

  I ment that 9.8 is such a slow speed. I didnt catch the acceleration part till later.  There is no reason to use it at 9.8m/s.

Yes, I got that.  You don't have to use it at slow speeds.  However, you must use it when velocities become fractions of c.

Didn't you say acceleration was relative?

Acceleration is relative to varying FORs.  It is absolute in space in Special Relativity.
