What happens to Newtons laws of motion invariant quantities in special relativity?

The invariant quantities such as angular momentum, linear momentum and possibly energy (although that is generally considered thermodynamics) are all still conserved in special relativity.
What does happen however is that the equations for these invariants do change. For example, linear momentum according to Newton is simply mass times velocity but in Einstein's theory it becomes mass times velocity times a new thing called the gamma factor (which is almost equal to unity at low velocities so Newton did not detect it, but becomes very large close to the speed of light (the gamma factor is infinite at the speed of light)).
Special relativity also predicts the existence of spin which is related to angular momentum, but spin does not exist in Newton's theory.

What happens when someone pushes a chair across the room using newtons second law of motion?
The chair movement is dependent on its weight and the amount of force
What happens to acetyl-CoA if cell already has sufficient quantities of ATP?
The acetyl-CoA is diverted to Fat Synthesis (energy storage).Read more: If_a_cell_already_has_a_large_supply_of_ATP_the_acetyl-CoA_is_funneled_to_make
What happens to fish and other water life when mercury levels get to high?
They die of heavy metal poisoning. Anything eating sufficient quantities of them can then also get heavy metal poisining.
How does newtons third law of motion describe forces?
It shows that everything that happens will a reaction of equal force in the other direction. for example when you exert 20 pounds of pressure on the ground the ground will puch 20 of pressure back.
What happens to Newton's First Law of Motion when explaining the bending of light passing near the sun?
Light is bent near the sun because the gravitational field of the sun is extremely strong. Newtons first law isn't broken in any way here.
What happens to the invariant quantities in special relativity?
In special relativity, the invariant quantities, such as the speed of light and the spacetime interval, remain the same for all observers. This means that these quantities do not change regardless of the relative motion between observers. It is a fundamental principle of special relativity that these invariants are preserved in all inertial reference frames.
What happens when a concave lens is placed in Newtons' rings experiment?
rings start collapsing to the centre
What happens if an astronaut throws a tennis ball into space using newtons 1st law?
BLAH
What happens when you multiply or divide two quantities by the same number?
It will give you a perfect square.
How does newtons law of gravitation explain Kepler's laws?
Kepler's Laws describe what happens. Newton's Laws describes what happens and why. The why is the theoretical explanation due to Gravity.
Can small amount of matter change to immense quantities of energy in nuclear weapons?
Yes, that is what happens.
Which Newtons law of motion can explain what happens when someone pushes a chair across the floor?
It will have no equilibruim and when you are pushing it you are using a force
What happens to a lily pad when a frog leaps from a rock to the lily pad according to newtons third law?
1st Law
What happens inside a black hole?
This is not certain as there is no way to see below the event horizon. However some ideas can be reached using general relativity to mathematically analyze them.
What happens when someone pushes a chair across the room using newtons second law of motion?
The chair movement is dependent on its weight and the amount of force
Is there any physical evidence that the laws of physics cannot be broken?
No,what we call the laws of physics are just rules that were made to explain and predict what happens to real systems. We just assume that our laws are right until we have better more accurate ones. For example newtons second law F=ma worked very well for the sorts of things newton saw. But it isn't perfect at very high speeds and so we need relativity from einsten for these situations. In some situations even the best laws we have at the moment still don't explain well enough what is going on, for example why supernova explode or how to combine quantum mechanics and relativity.

they have a large increase in salt in there body, very unpleasant taste horrible
