of
a particle in terms of its speed v and the speed of light c. (This relation
first arose as a consequence of special relatively due to Albert Einstein). A
boy recalls the relation almost correctly but for gets where to put the
constant c.
He writes: 
Guess where to put the missing c.
Answer:
Since quantities of similar nature can only be added or
subtracted, 
cannot be
subtracted from dimensionless constant 1. It should be divided by 
so as to make
it dimensionless. Hence the corrected relation is
