Fasten your seat belt . . .
-- If the particle has any mass when it's not moving, then that mass becomes greater
the faster the particle moves.
-- If the particle could be pushed to the speed of light, its mass would be infinite at that speed.
-- But in order to make the particle move faster, you have to add energy to it. The more mass it has,
the more energy you have to give it in order to make it move faster.
-- Since its mass grows as it moves faster, the amount of energy it takes to make it
go faster also grows.
-- If its mass is growing toward infinity, then the amount of energy you need to make it
go faster is also growing toward infinity.
-- Since the mass would be infinite at the speed of light, you would need an infinite amount
of energy to boost it to that speed.
-- You don't have enough energy available to do the job, and you can''t get it.

What is the momentum of a resting particle?
Momentum = (mass) x (velocity)If the particle is at rest, velocity = 0, and momentum = 0.
What escape velocity of a particle of mass m varies as?
The escape velocity of a particle of mass m is independent of the mass of the particle. It is solely dependent on the mass and radius of the object it is trying to escape from. The escape velocity is given by the formula: (v = \sqrt{\frac{2GM}{r}}), where G is the gravitational constant, M is the mass of the object, and r is the distance from the center of the object to the particle.
What will be the total energy of a particle of rest mass m and momentum p moving at velocity close to light?
The total energy of a particle with rest mass m and momentum p moving at a velocity close to the speed of light is given by Einstein's equation: E^2 = (pc)^2 + (mc^2)^2, where c is the speed of light. Since the particle is moving at a velocity close to light, its total energy will be dominated by its momentum term (pc)^2.
What is the measure of energy of motion of particle of matter?
The measure of energy of motion of a particle of matter is called kinetic energy. It is calculated using the formula KE = 0.5 * mass * velocity^2, where mass is the mass of the particle and velocity is its speed.
What is the definition of kinetic energy of a particle?
The kinetic energy of a particle is the energy that a particle possesses due to its motion. It is calculated as one-half the mass of the particle multiplied by the square of its velocity. Mathematically, it can be represented as KE = 0.5 * m * v^2, where KE is the kinetic energy, m is the mass of the particle, and v is its velocity.
What happens to the mass of a particle as the particle approacches the speed of light?
When any object with mass moves, no matter at what speed, its mass increases. The faster it moves, the faster its mass increases. And the closer to the speed of light it moves, the closer to infinity its mass grows.
What is the momentum of a resting particle?
Momentum = (mass) x (velocity)If the particle is at rest, velocity = 0, and momentum = 0.
What happens if you run inside a train travelling at the speed of light?
if we reach the speed of light our mass start converting into energy according to the mass energy relation when a particle accelerated it must radiate energy. and therefore the mass convert into energy as the velocity increase . relative mass (at velocity =v)=mass/1-v(power2)/c(power2) relative mass is present mass of object at tht velocity. then mass at (rest present mass )c (power2) why it is impossible for a particle too have a speed of light
What escape velocity of a particle of mass m varies as?
The escape velocity of a particle of mass m is independent of the mass of the particle. It is solely dependent on the mass and radius of the object it is trying to escape from. The escape velocity is given by the formula: (v = \sqrt{\frac{2GM}{r}}), where G is the gravitational constant, M is the mass of the object, and r is the distance from the center of the object to the particle.
Momentum of the particle?
mass times the velocity of the body.
What happens to an object when it moves at the speed of light?
when the particle moves with the speed of light,the mass of the particle increases to infinity.... this is as per Einstein's theory of relativity....n its true.... some people say the mass decreases to zero when the particle travels with the speed of light....they are "INSANE"
What will be the total energy of a particle of rest mass m and momentum p moving at velocity close to light?
The total energy of a particle with rest mass m and momentum p moving at a velocity close to the speed of light is given by Einstein's equation: E^2 = (pc)^2 + (mc^2)^2, where c is the speed of light. Since the particle is moving at a velocity close to light, its total energy will be dominated by its momentum term (pc)^2.

Why do scientists use particle accelerator?
Einstein proved that energy and mass were equivalent (Energy = Mass times the velocity of light squared). In a particle accelerator energy is applied to accelerate particles to almost the velocity of light. When this fast moving particles impact another (going in the opposite direction or a target) the energy carried by the particle is converted into mass. New matter (particles) are briefly created and the scientists try and detect these so as to understand the fundamental properties of the universe.
What is the mass of light and why?
Light has mass, because it exerts pressure on a body, e.g. solar sails. light must have mass to exert pressure, because the velocity of what causes pressure? matter. and matter definitely has mass! also, light is attracted to black holes by gravity, so it must have a mass, and the wave/particle duality confirms this
What is the definition of kinetic energy of a particle?
The kinetic energy of a particle is the energy that a particle possesses due to its motion. It is calculated as one-half the mass of the particle multiplied by the square of its velocity. Mathematically, it can be represented as KE = 0.5 * m * v^2, where KE is the kinetic energy, m is the mass of the particle, and v is its velocity.
What is a single particle of light called?
A single particle of light is called a photon. Photons are the basic unit of light and do not have mass.
