Question

As the speed of a particle approaches the speed of light, the momentum of the particle a. Increases b. Decreases c. Remains the same d. Approaches zero

Answer 1

As the object approaches the speed of light, the object's energy and momentum increase without bound. Tolman in 1912 further elaborated on this concept, and stated: "the expression m0(1 − v2/c2)−1/2 is best suited for THE mass of a moving body." In 1934, Tolman argued that the relativistic mass formula.

it increases

Answer 2

As the speed of a particle approaches the speed of light, the momentum of the particle increases.

• Momentum of a particle is the product of the mass of the particle and the velocity of the particle.

        $p = mv$

• Here, p is the momentum, m is the mass and v is the velocity of the particle.

• When the speed of a particle approaches the speed of light, precisely the velocity of the particle increases.
• This leads to an increase in the momentum of the particle, since momentum is directly proportional to the velocity.
