Mass Example
1: If
you were to board a craft and travel at 0.9 c
and had a mass of 60 kg, how massive would you appear to the earth's reference
frame?
Example
2: You
observe an element that appears to have a mass of 1.64 x 10-25 kg
when it travels with a velocity of 0.70 c.
What would its mass be if it were at rest?
Example
3: What
is the element's name? From
the Periodic table, the element with an atomic mass of 70 amu's is Gallium!
