Chapter 3, Problem 21

(choose chapter or problem)

The force F acting on a body with mass m and velocity v is the rate of change of momentum: F sdydtdsmvd. If m is constant, this becomes F ma, where a dvydt is the acceleration. But in the theory of relativity the mass of a particle varies with v as follows: m m0ys1 2 v 2 yc 2 , where m0 is the mass of the particle at rest and c is the speed of light. Show that F m0a s1 2 v 2 yc 2 d 3y2
