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 the missing '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 the missing '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 . `:. m = (m_(0))/(SQRT(1-v^(2)//c^(2)))`
