What is rest mass (m0m_0)?

Mass measured when object is at rest

What is the formula for relativistic mass mm?

m=m01−v2c2m = \frac{m_0}{\sqrt{1 - \frac{v^2}{c^2}}}

What happens to relativistic mass as velocity approaches the speed of light?

It increases dramatically

An electron at 1.8×1081.8 \times 10^8 m/s with rest mass 9.109×10−319.109 \times 10^{-31} kg has what relativistic mass?

1.1×10−301.1 \times 10^{-30} kg

At what speed does a particle's mass become 5 times its rest mass?

98% of cc (2.94×1082.94 \times 10^8 m/s)

What is the formula for relativistic momentum pp?

p=m0v1−v2c2p = \frac{m_0 v}{\sqrt{1 - \frac{v^2}{c^2}}}

Why can nothing with mass reach the speed of light?

Mass increase makes acceleration approach 0

What happens to acceleration at relativistic speeds with constant force?

It decreases as a=FRγma = \frac{F_R}{\gamma m}

What are synchrotrons?

Circular accelerators using E&M fields

What is the circumference of the Large Hadron Collider?

27 kilometres
