Abstract
Does the mass of bodies depend on their velocity? Is the mass additive if
separate bodies are joined together to form a composite system? Is the mass of
an isolated system conserved? Different teachers of physics and specialists
give different answers to these questions because there is no general agreement
on the definition of mass..We shall show that the notion of the
velocity-dependent relativistic mass should be given preference over that of
the rest mass.
