C)equal to mv.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to Einstein's theory of relativity, the momentum of an object increases as its velocity approaches the speed of light. At relativistic speeds, the momentum is greater than the classical momentum, which is given by the product of mass and velocity (mv). Therefore, choice A is the correct answer.

When an Object Is Pushed to Relativistic Speeds,its Momentum Is
