Correct Answer
C.Explanation
The correct answer is m = m0/sqrt(1 - v^2/c^2). This equation represents the variation of mass with velocity, known as relativistic mass. It shows that as an object's velocity approaches the speed of light (c), its mass increases. The denominator term (1 - v^2/c^2) accounts for the relativistic effects of time dilation and length contraction, ensuring that mass cannot exceed infinity. This equation is a fundamental concept in special relativity and helps explain the behavior of particles at high speeds.Rate this question:

Time
- B.
Energy
- C.
Length
- D.
All of these
Correct Answer
D. All of theseExplanation
According to special relativity, all of the listed physical properties - time, energy, and length - are dependent on the observer's speed. This is because special relativity states that as an observer's speed approaches the speed of light, time slows down, energy increases, and length contracts. Therefore, the observer's speed has an impact on all of these properties.Rate this question:
