Options
v
1 − v2/c2
\[\sqrt{1 - \nu^2 / c^2}\]
none of these

Solution
none of these
Linear momentum of a particle moving at a relativistic speed v is given by
\[p = \frac{m_o v}{\sqrt{1 - \frac{v^2}{c^2}}}\]
Here, mo is the rest mass of the particle.
So, linear momentum is proportional to \[\frac{v}{\sqrt{1 - \frac{v^2}{c^2}}}.\]
