Question

There is an upper limit on the speed of a particle. This means there is also an upper limit on its

Answer 1

As speed of a particle has a limit so does its momentum has a limit.

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know that in this Universe no information can travel faster than the speed of light.

The speed of light is the fastest possible speed and hence the quantities dependent on it also have certain limits.

The momentum of a body at normal non-relativistic speed is given as:

`p=m.v`

The momentum of a body at relativistic speed (a speed of the order of speed of light) is given as:

`p=m.v.\gamma`

here

`\gamma =\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-(v^2)/(c^2) }}` Lorentz factor
