The equation for calculating the relativistic mass of a moving object is...
m = m0/ square root(1-(v^2/c^2))
where m is the relativistic mass of the object, m0 is the rest mass of the object, v is the velocity of the object, and c is the velocity of light.
Calculate the relativistic mass to rest mass ratio, m/m0, for an electron that has a velocity with respect to the observer that is 80.0% of the velocity of light.

Hi. Just plug in the values.
m0 = rest mass of electron = 9.1* 10^-31kg
v^2 = .8c = 240000^2 kps
c^2 = 300,000^2 kps
Hope that helps.

I doubt that anyone here has the caliber of mind to actually answer this since most persons on this sight haven't quite mastered basic junior high math yet and are primarily concerned with what boy/girl in their class might like them, or want to go to homecomming or the prom with them. Try asking this on a math/physics site. If they graduated already, they are too busy trying to insult as many people world wide or see just how perverted they can be in any given 24 hour period.

hmmmm very interesting, now stop trying to act smart. I bet you can't even work this out and you probably don't even know what any of it means. Just because you can copy something that is complicated that you haven't wrote does in no way mean you're smart. :)
PS: it's probably a load of crap anyway so get a life you loser. :) again.

RELATIVISTIC
Not a word on my planet.
I was not sure what your looking at
What is your weight of a electron and I will try your problem.
