Question

As the velocity of an object increases, so does its energy. What does this imply? a) At very low velocities, the object's energy is equal to its mass times $c^{2}$. b) In order for an object with mass $m$ to reach the speed of light, infinite energy is required. c) Only objects with $m=0$ can travel at the speed of light. d) all of the above e) none of the above
