Can a particle of nonzero mass attain the
Answer to Problem 16Q
Solution:
It can be need to solution Therefore it’s impossible to actually accelerate an object with non-zero rest mass to the speed of light
Given:
Can a particle of nonzero mass attain the speed of light
Explanation of Solution
As the speed of the objects is increased, inertial mass of the objects also increased less than the speed of light nearly imperceptible speed of light is approached the mass start to increase very rapidly toward infinity theoretically the mass would become infinite if the objects because proportional to its inertial mass speed of the light is approached the force required actually to reach light also become infinity therefore its impossible to actually accelerate an object with non-zero rest mass to the speed of light
