The Lorentz factor (γ) becomes relevant when the object attains its desired velocity and is in motion relative to the observer. Initially, when both reference frames are at rest, the object's energetic state reflects its lack of motion, resulting in zero kinetic energy (KE). As the frames separate, the moving object undergoes acceleration until it reaches its desired velocity. At this stage, the object's energetic state reflects its motion, and it possesses kinetic energy (KE) due to its acceleration. This acceleration is not accounted for in the Lorentz factor (γ). Once the object reaches its desired velocity, its energetic state reflects its motion, and it possesses kinetic energy (KE) due to its velocity. The Lorentz factor (γ) and kinetic energy (KE) play significant roles in relativistic motion. However, the acceleration component is not considered in the Lorentz factor (γ).
