Question

Osmium (the densest metal found on the periodic table) has a mass density, ρ_o = 22,500 kg/m³ when it's sitting still.
If a sample of osmium is moving with enough speed that its kinetic energy is equal to one-quarter its own rest energy, what is its mass density, ρ', as measured by a stationary observer?

(Remember ρ' = m' / V' )

Group of answer choices

ρ' = (5/4) ρ_o

ρ' = (25/16) ρ_o

ρ' = (9/25) ρ_o

ρ' = ρ_o

ρ' = (3/5) ρ_o
