What happends meter stick traveling close to the speed of light?
its mass increases as per Einstein's relativistic variation in mass...
What is the equation for relativistic mass in terms of velocity and the speed of light?
The equation for relativistic mass in terms of velocity (v) and the speed of light (c) is: m m0 / (1 - v2/c2) where m is the relativistic mass, m0 is the rest mass, v is the velocity, and c is the speed of light.
What is the mass if proton if it is travelling at 99.9 percent of the speed of light?
The concept of 'relativistic mass' was disliked by Einstein, the father of special relativity. However a value can be obtained using;M = m/(1-v2/c2)1/2Where M is the relativistic mass, m is the rest mass, c is the speed of light in a vacuum and v is the velocity.With v/c = 0.999 we obtainM = m*22.37With m as the proton mass, m=1.673*10-27 KgM = 3.74*10-26 Kg
What fraction of the speed of light must you travel for your mass to be twice the rest mass?
To have a mass that is twice the rest mass at relativistic speeds, you would need to travel at about 86.6% of the speed of light. This is calculated using the relativistic mass formula, which states that mass increases with velocity according to the equation: m = m0 / sqrt(1-v^2/c^2), where m is the relativistic mass, m0 is the rest mass, v is the velocity, and c is the speed of light.
If the mass of an object approaches infinity as the object approaches the speed of light why doesn't light have infinite mass?
The statement that photons have zero mass refers to what is traditionally known as the "rest mass" - nowadays simply called the "mass", i.e., the one mass that all observers will agree upon.On the other hand, the "relativistic mass" is positive - and the ratio between this positive relativistic mass and the zero rest mass is infinite.
Does mass increase with speed?
Yes, according to Einstein's theory of relativity, as an object approaches the speed of light, its mass increases.
What is energy related to?
According to Einstein's famous equation, it is related to mass and the speed of light (in vacuum).
Does light has mass?
yes, light has a mass that is what Albert Einstein said.
What is the derivation of relativistic momentum and how does it differ from classical momentum?
The relativistic momentum is derived from Einstein's theory of special relativity, which takes into account the effects of high speeds and near-light velocities. It differs from classical momentum in that it includes a factor of gamma () to account for the increase in mass as an object approaches the speed of light. This means that as an object's velocity increases, its relativistic momentum also increases, unlike classical momentum which remains constant at all speeds.
What is the relativistic mass formula and how does it relate to the concept of mass in special relativity?
The relativistic mass formula is given by (m fracm0sqrt1 - fracv2c2), where (m) is the relativistic mass, (m0) is the rest mass, (v) is the velocity of the object, and (c) is the speed of light. This formula shows that as an object moves faster, its relativistic mass increases due to the effects of special relativity. This concept challenges the traditional idea of mass as a constant property of an object and demonstrates that mass is relative to an observer's frame of reference in special relativity.
How does mass turn into infinity at the speed of light?
It doesn't - the object will never achieve the speed of light, since an infinite mass is not possible (it would require infinite energy). This only describes a tendency: as the object gets closer and closer to the speed of light, so, too, will its mass increase more and more, approaching infinity - this means there is no upper limit to the mass as the object approaches the speed of light.
Why did Einstein state that you can travel faster than light but not at the same speed at which the light travels?
Einstein's theory of relativity states that mass cannot accelerate to or past the speed of light because it would require infinite energy. However, objects with no mass, like light, can travel at the speed of light because they do not have the same limitations. Thus, according to Einstein, you can approach the speed of light but never reach or surpass it.
