OUTCOME
By the end of the lesson you will be able to describe and apply the effects of special relativity on energy and thus mass.
As an objects energy increases to close that of light its mass relativistic mass increases.This relationship between mass and energy is expressed in the equation
E = mc2
LEARNING TASKS
Explain
Use the equation m = γ mo to show that as the speed of light an object's mass becomes infinite
Explore and Elaborate
Calculate the kinetic energy of an electron that has been accelerated over a potential of 22 GeV
mass of an electron = 9.10938356 x 10-31
Is this value possible?
