Say, I have a ball in my hand of mass 1 Kg.
I throw it with speed 20m/sec.
Its kinetic energy is 200J. Mass equivalent of this energy is
2.22x10-15 Kg.
Can we say mass of the ball is increased by 2.22x10-15 Kg.
In another words, mass of the moving ball is 1+2.22x10-15Kg, and it will act like a ball of mass 1+2.22x10-15Kg.
Is this the mass increase we see in special relativity caused by speed?
In such case, it is not a physical increase of mass at all.

oh yes that i was asking all along..! that i want to point..as if how one could explain such conversion...??
