relativistic mass
Relativistic mass is a concept in physics that indicates mass of a body in relation to its velocity. According to Einstein's theory of relativity, as an object approaches the speed of light, its mass appears to increase from the perspective of an observer. The increase of mass is factorized by the Lorentz transformation, which considers the relative speed of an object to the speed of light. Ultimately, the term relativistic mass embodies the idea that energy has mass and mass embodies energy, as expressed in the principle of mass-energy equivalence. However, this concept is controversial and not all scientists agree with its use.
