Mass in special relativity the mass of a moving particle." When the relative velocity is zero, formula_33 is simply equal to 1, and the relativistic mass is reduced to the rest mass as one can see in the next two equations below. As the velocity increases toward the speed of light "c", the denominator of the right side approaches zero, and consequently formula_33 approaches infinity. In the formula for momentum the mass that occurs is the relativistic mass. In other words, the relativistic mass is the proportionality constant between the velocity and the momentum. While Newton's second law remains valid in the form the
Front velocity any medium tends to one as the frequency tends to infinity, that the wave discontinuity, called the "front", propagates at a speed less than or equal to the speed of light "c" in any medium. In fact, the earliest appearance of the front of an electromagnetic disturbance (the precursor) travels at the "front velocity", which is "c", "no matter what the medium". However, the process always starts from zero amplitude and builds up. Front velocity In physics, front velocity is the speed at which the first rise of a pulse above zero moves forward. In mathematics, it is used to
