does anyone know the formula for v using the relativistic mass equation

i get v= the sqroot of(c^2- (restmass^2*c^2)/m^2)
rearrangeing the formula
 
Physics news on Phys.org
What did you start with and how did you get that?
 
u know the formual for relavistic mass = rest mass/sqroot(1-(v^2/c^2))
 
It looks like you did your algebra correctly!
 
cheers mate
