Einstein's Mass-Velocity Relation

Einstein's Mass-Velocity Relation

This simulation demonstrates the relativistic mass increase as an object approaches the speed of light (c). The correct relation is:

\[ m = \frac{m_0}{\sqrt{1 - \frac{v^2}{c^2}}} \]

Adjust the velocity slider to see how the mass changes as velocity approaches the speed of light.

0 0.5c 1.0c
0.1 2.5 5.0

Current mass: 1.00 × m₀
