Q.	According to special theory of relativity the mass of a particle –
A.	increases with increase in velocity with respect to an observer.
B.	decreases with increase in velocity.
C.	decreases with decrease in velocity.
D.	is independent of its velocity.
Answer» A. increases with increase in velocity with respect to an observer.
Explanation: According to the Special Theory of Relativity, the mass of a moving object measures more as its velocity increases until, at the speed of light, it becomes infinite. This is because as an object gains speed, it gains more (kinetic) energy.
