A particle has a velocity of the order 0.9797C. Find the ratio of the measured mass of a particle to its rest(proper) mass. [C=speed of light]

OpenStudy (shamim):

the formulae is\[m=m _{0}\sqrt{(1-\frac{ v ^{2} }{ c ^{2} })}\]

OpenStudy (shamim):

here m= measured mass

OpenStudy (shamim):

rest mass is \[m _{0}\]

OpenStudy (shamim):

v = velocity of the particle=0.9797c
