Doubling the momentum of a particle:
A) does not change its relativistic total energy.
B) quadruples its relativistic total energy.
C) doubles its relativistic total energy.
D) requires less of a speed increase as the speed increases.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

As the speed of a particle approaches the speed of light, its relativistic mass increases, requiring less of a speed increase to double its momentum.
