An electron with (rest mass m0m_0) moves with a speed of 0.8 c0.8\,c. Its mass when it moves with this speed is

Show answer and solution

Answer: (c)

  1. m=m01−v2/c2m = \frac{m_0}{\sqrt{1 - v^2/c^2}}
  2. 1−0.64=0.6\sqrt{1 - 0.64} = 0.6
  3. m=m00.6=5m03m = \frac{m_0}{0.6} = \frac{5m_0}{3}
  4. So the answer is (c) 5m03\frac{5m_0}{3}.
