4. The special theory of relativity predicts that there is an upper limit to the speed of a particle. It therefore follows that
there is also an upper limit on the following properties of a particle.
a. the kinetic energy
b. the total energy
c. the linear momentum
d. more than one of these
e. none of these

The special theory of relativity predicts that there is an upper limit to the speed of a particle.
