The answer lies in the quirks of quantum mechanics. Blame "Big Al" Einstein for these relativistic effects. When we accelerate anything, its mass increases. We don't see it normally because the phenomenon is only pronounced in situations where the accelerated object or "thing" approaches the speed of light. At half light speed, there isn't a ton of stuff happening, but as speeds ramp up near "maxium velocity" for our little particle, its mass ramps up, too. The 80% to 90% and up are marked by pronounced effects. Note that a moving bus has acquired a lot of energy, but that is not the result of relativistic mass differential. There is a difference. In accelerators, we can force particles up to 99% the speed of light. Electrons are relatively easy to accelerate compared to protons because the protons are some 1836 times more massive. Electrons can be accelerated pretty well by "simple" high voltage. Certainly a cyclotron can make them scream. A link is provided below.

Which subatomic particle has the smallest mass alpha particle neutron electron proton?
among these Electron has the least mass....
Is the mass of an electron one hundredth the mass of a proton?
No, the mass of an electron is roughly 1/1836 the mass of a proton.
Who has the smallest mass electrons protons or neutrons?
Of the neutron, proton, and electron, the electron has the smallest mass.
When is the mass of an electron regarded as zero?
The mass of an electron is regarded as zero when it is at rest. The mass of an electron or any particle is calculated by using its momentum and its energy. The mass of an electron is related to its momentum which is zero when the electron is not moving. So when the electron is at rest its momentum is zero and thus its mass is zero. When an electron is moving its mass is no longer zero as its momentum is not zero. It is calculated by using the following equation: Mass = Energy / (Speed of Light)2The mass of an electron increases as its energy increases and it increases even more when it is moving at a higher speed. So when the electron is at rest and its momentum is zero its mass is also zero.
Does gamma have the same mass as 1 electron?
No, a gamma ray is a massless particle with no rest mass, whereas an electron has a measurable mass.
How can you increase acceleration in reference to mass and force?
By looking at the equation F=ma we have two ways to increase acceleration. If we keep the mass constant and increase the force applied then the acceleration of the object will increase. If we keep the force constant and use a smaller mass then the mass will experience a greater acceleration than a greater mass.
What happens to the acceleration as you increase the mass?
As per Newton's first law of motion, if the applied force remains the same, an increase in mass will result in a decrease in acceleration. In contrast, if the acceleration were to remain the same when the mass increases, there must be a greater force applied.
What increases as force increases?
F=ma, or force equals the product of mass and acceleration. Assuming that the mass of the object does not change, then acceleration increases as force increases.
What will increase a wheelbarrow's acceleration?
Increasing the force applied to push the wheelbarrow or reducing the mass of the load in the wheelbarrow will increase its acceleration. Additionally, reducing friction between the wheelbarrow and the ground can also increase its acceleration.
Does increasing mass increase acceleration?
No, increasing mass does not increase acceleration. Acceleration is dependent on the force applied to an object and the object's mass. In the equation F = ma, where F is the force, m is the mass, and a is the acceleration, increasing mass would actually decrease acceleration if the force remains constant.
Would reducing mass increase acceleration?
Yes, reducing mass would increase acceleration according to Newton's Second Law of Motion, which states that acceleration is inversely proportional to mass. Therefore, lower mass means a higher acceleration, given the same force.
Are mass and acceleration proportional?
No, mass and acceleration are not directly proportional. Acceleration is inversely proportional to mass, meaning that an increase in mass will result in a decrease in acceleration, assuming the applied force remains constant.
How can mass and force be changed increase acceleration?
To increase acceleration: 1) Increase the force applied on the object, as acceleration is directly proportional to force. 2) Decrease the mass of the object, since acceleration is inversely proportional to mass according to Newton's second law of motion (F=ma). Increasing force or decreasing mass will result in a higher acceleration of the object.
What happens to the acceleration as you increase the mass or load?
As you increase the mass or load, the acceleration decreases. This is because a greater force is required to move the heavier mass, resulting in a slower acceleration. This relationship can be described by Newton's second law of motion, which states that acceleration is inversely proportional to mass when force is constant.
For a given value of net force what would increase acceleration for a system?
To increase acceleration for a given net force, you can decrease the mass of the system. This is because acceleration is inversely proportional to mass when net force is constant (F = ma). Alternatively, you can increase the net force acting on the system.
Is it the more mass an object has the harder it is to change the acceleration?
yes because of Newton's law F=ma. If you increase mass, you have to increase force to achive the same acceleration.
What is the relationship between force acceleration when mass is constant?
According to Newton's second law of motion, the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it, and inversely proportional to its mass when mass is constant. This means that if the force acting on an object increases, its acceleration will also increase, and if the mass remains constant, the acceleration will increase in proportion to the force.
