SOLUTION: hey.. thank you very much. The question is- m= (Mo) / sqrt( 1- v^2/ c^2 where mo= rest mass c= speed of light if Captian kirks rest mas is 80kg, how much would he weigh i

Question 206226: hey.. thank you very much. The question is-
m= (Mo) / sqrt( 1- v^2/ c^2 where
mo= rest mass
c= speed of light
if Captian kirks rest mas is 80kg, how much would he weigh if he was moving at
i)80% of speed of light ( c=3 x 10^8 m/s)
ii)90% of speed of light
Answer by vleith(2983) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
1) I'll do the first one, you can do the second one

where and
Substituting those values yields:

kg
Now you use the same process, except this time the good Captain is moving at 0.9c.
You have the con!
