Examples of relativistic mass
relativistic mass
Curvature of spacetime is a relativistic manifestation of the existence of mass.
From the en.wikipedia.org
Perhaps there's a difference between inertial and gravitational relativistic mass?
From the newscientist.com
The loss of momentum is entirely due to a loss of relativistic mass due to loss of energy.
From the newscientist.com
To be more specific, it is necessary to distinguish between rest mass and relativistic mass.
From the economist.com
When the velocity is small, the relativistic mass and the rest mass are almost exactly the same.
From the en.wikipedia.org
The mass being defined as invariant mass in COM frame or relativistic mass in any inertial frame.
From the en.wikipedia.org
The invariant mass is the relativistic mass of the system when viewed in the center of momentum frame.
From the en.wikipedia.org
Some sources also refer to the relativistic mass concept, which is just the energy scaled to units of mass.
From the en.wikipedia.org
The loss of angular momentum is due to it losing relativistic mass as it emits energetic photons and thus cools down.
