A famous relation in physics relates ‘moving mass’ m to the ‘rest mass’ mo of a particle in terms of its speed v and the speed of light, c. (This relation first arose as a consequence of special relativity due to Albert Einstein). boy recalls the relation almost correctly but forgets where to put the constant c. He writes : m = mₒ / (1 - υ ²) ⅟² Guess where to put the missing c. |
