To Explain: The rest mass.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
Mass is the quantity of matter contained in the object. Inertia of any body is the property or tendency of the body to be at state of rest unless one any force is applied on it.
Rest mass is the inertial mass: which it has at state of rest. Actual mass of the object is determined by using a formula,
Where,
m is actual mass of the body.
v is velocity of the object.
c is the
