this relationship is well known in linear acceleration, what I don't understand if you accelerate in the y direction and decelerate in the x direction if you used a magnetic field in place of an electric field the resistance to acceleration,or mass appears to be in the y direction, in a...

where the 1.5 comes from If you accelerate a particle in the x direction only you will find that the particle appears to have a mass = m/(1-v^2/c^2)^1.5 when resisting acceleration in the x direction. This is verified by E=mC^2 which is easy to do,you take a fractional change in speed from...

To improve my understanding of physics I was unable find the answer to this question on the web after a lot of searching so I'll try here. let v= net velocity of the x direction and the y direction You take a particle at rest with mass m and you accelerate it to 80% of c in the x...
