Including a time element of energy as

𝐩=(Ec,px,py,pz)

This four element vector transforms as a tensor

p'μ=x'μxνpν

And as such constitutes a four-vector, a rank 1 tensor, called the 4-momentum. The mass of a particle is an invariant given by the spacetime length of the 4-momentum according to

m2c2=gμνpμpν

which for the metric of special relativity yeilds

E2=p2c2+m2c4

For a particle with mass, the 4-momentum can be related to the 4-velocity by

pμ=mUμ
