单词 | relativistic mass |
释义 | relativistic mass The mass of a moving body as measured by an observer in the same frame of reference as the body. According to the special theory of relativity the mass m of a body moving at speed v is given by m = m0/v(1 - v2/c2) , where m0 is its rest mass and c is the speed of light. The relativistic mass therefore only differs significantly from the rest mass if its speed is a substantial fraction of the speed of light. If v = c/2 , for example, the relativistic mass is 15% greater than the rest mass |
