<math> v'_y = \frac{v_y}{\gamma (1- \frac{u v_x}{c^2})} </math><br/>
<math> v'_y = \frac{v_y}{\gamma (1- \frac{u v_x}{c^2})} </math><br/>
<math> v'_z= \frac{v_z}{\gamma (1- \frac{u v_x}{c^2})} </math>
<math> v'_z= \frac{v_z}{\gamma (1- \frac{u v_x}{c^2})} </math>
Note how the transformations for [[velocity]] in the y and z directions also depend on the velocity of the particle in the x direction, not just the relative speed between the [[inertial frame of reference|frames of reference]]. This is different to the displacement transformations, in which y and z are independent of x.
