I was wondering if there is and what is the equations that show that as an object accelerates towards the speed of light its mass increase to infinite.
The speed of light is a constant value in a vacuum, which is approximately 299,792,458 meters per second or 186,282 miles per second.
The speed of light can be calculated by dividing the distance traveled by the time it takes to travel that distance. The formula is represented as c = d/t, where c is the speed of light, d is the distance, and t is the time.
The mass-energy equivalence equation, also known as the famous E=mc^2 equation, is a formula that explains the relationship between mass and energy. It states that the energy (E) of an object is equal to its mass (m) multiplied by the speed of light squared (c^2).
According to the theory of relativity, the speed of light is the fastest speed at which all matter and information can travel. Therefore, nothing can travel faster than the speed of light.
As an object approaches the speed of light, its mass increases according to the mass-energy equivalence equation. This phenomenon, known as relativistic mass, is an effect of special relativity and is only noticeable at very high speeds.
