Question

The mass of a body m moving with a velocity v is given by m=m01v2c2 where m0 = rest mass, c = speed of  light = 3 x 108 ms-1. The value of m (in kg using significant figures) for m0=10kg,v=3×107ms1is ________

Moderate
Solution

m=1019×10149×1016=1011100=10.0504=10kg (significant figure is 1) 

(The number of significant figures in multiplication or division should equal to minimum number of decimal points of a quantity involved in the operation.)
