A boy recalls the relation for relativistic mass (m) in terms of rest mass (m_(0)) velocity of particle V, but forgets to put the constant c (velocity of light). He writes m=(m_(0))/((1-v^(2))^(1//2)) correct the equation by putting themissing ‘c’.

A boy recalls the relation for relativistic mass (m) in terms of rest

1.	A boy recalls the relation for relativistic mass (m) in terms of rest mass (m_(0)) velocity of particle V, but forgets to put the constant c (velocity of light). He writes m=(m_(0))/((1-v^(2))^(1//2)) correct the equation by putting themissing ‘c’.
Answer» Solution :SINCE quantities of similar nature can only be ADDED or subtracted, `v^(2)` cannot be subtracted from 1 but `v^(2)//C^(2)` can be subtracted from 1. `therefore m=(m_(@))/(SQRT(1-v^(2)//c^(2)))`
