The mass of an object traveling at speed
is
, where
is the speed of light and
is the initial mass of the object.
(a) Find
. Explain the relationship between limit and
.



.
.
As the velocity of object approaches
, the mass of the object will approach initial mass.
(b) What happens to the mass of an object if its speed were able to a approach the speed of light.
\


.
The mass of the object would begin to increase without bound.
