This condition is fulfilled, when the dimensions of the space, in which the energy comes essentially into consideration, are sufficiently small. Because the terms to be neglected all contain the linear dimensions in a higher power. Though
d

{\displaystyle dv/dt}
may not be too great and the absolute velocity
v
{\displaystyle v}
not too small.
When this neglect is allowed, then we can put for the change of kinetic energy
