According to the theory of relativity, the mass m of a particle depends on its velocity v. Consider the following equation, where m0 is the mass when the particle is at rest and c is the speed of light.
m = m0 / [√1 – (v2/c2)]
Find the limit of the mass as v approaches c – .

Question

According to the theory of relativity, the mass m of a particle depends on its velocity v. Consider the following equation, where m0 is the mass when the particle is at rest and c is the speed of light.
	m = 	m0 / [√1 – (v2/c2)]
Find the limit of the mass as v approaches c – .

anonymous · Answer

it would go to infinity 

  since v^2 goes to c^2


1 - c^2/c^2 =0

0 in denominator mean infiinty
