[UPSC IFoS 2024] Special Theory of Relativity (Q323, 5+3=8M)

Write down the expression for kinetic energy of a relativistic particle with rest mass m_0, moving with a speed v. (i) Show that the kinetic energy reduces to \frac{1}{2} m_0 v^2 in the non-relativistic limit. (ii) Find the first relativistic correction to the non-relativistic kinetic energy.
