In Newtonian mechanics, the mass of an object is fixed. However, the special theory of relativity says that the mass of an object varies with its velocity, with a moving body having greater mass than one that is at rest. The relationship between the mass of an object and its velocity is given by

where m0 is the rest mass and c is the velocity of light (2.998 × 1010 centimeters/ second). Graph this expression. Use multiples of c on the x axis and multiples of m0 on the y axis. What does this suggest about the possibility of accelerating a subatomic particle to the speed of light?
