relativistic mass, in the special theory of relativity, the mass that is assigned to a body in motion.The relativistic mass m becomes infinite as the velocity of the body approaches the speed of light, so, even if large momentum and energy are arbitrarily supplied to a body, its velocity always remains less than c.The relativistic mass is given by:
m' = m/√(1 − v2/c2)
Where:
- m = the mass measured by the observer
- v = the speed of the object
- c = the speed of light in a vacuum
