Calculation of kinetic energy of a material point of mass m and velocity v in relativistic mechanics.

Here the velocity of the material point cannot exceed the speed of light (299792458 m/sec.)

T=\frac{Mv^{2}}{1-\frac{v^{2}}{c^{2}}+\sqrt[2]{1-\frac{v^{2}}{c^{2}}}}

At low speeds, the results of both formulas coincide, but the closer to the speed of light, the greater the difference.
