why dose something that has a limited mass that can always remain at a speed

have limited energy?

what does speed have to do with anything? what is this speed relative to anyway?

 

limited mass = limited energy.

When you say "in space", i take it you mean without a force acting against the pushing force?

 

If that's the case then it will only use the energy required to accelerate it to a constant velocity.

 

If you however speed it up fast enough (near c) in this Universe, it begins to get more massive because of the energy it contains from the original push and becomes harder and harder to accelerate further. That's why reaching c with a rest mass of >0 is impossible because an infinite amount of energy would be required.

Creationist Lies! mass does not increase. mass is constant. momentum increases.

 

[math]\rho=\frac{h}{\lambda}[/math]

[math]d=\frac{d}{\gamma}[/math]

[math]\lambda=\frac{\lambda}{\gamma}[/math]

[math]\frac{h}{\lambda}=\frac{h{\gamma}}[/math]

[math]\rho={\rho}\gamma[/math]

I dont know how you managed to label me a creationist from that' date=' i assure you i am not one.

 

Although you're right, mass doesn't change the objects momentum does. I dunno why i said mass, must be tired *yawns*.[/quote']

the creationist bit was a joke
