==Key Stage 5==
===Meaning===
The '''rest mass''' of a [[Subatomic Particle|particle]] is total [[mass]] of the [[Subatomic Particle|particle]] when it is stationary relative to the observer.

===About Rest Mass===
: The '''rest mass''' is measured in [[kilogram|kilograms (kg)]].
: The [[mass]] of [[Subatomic Particle|subatomic particles]] depends up their relative motion. This becomes significant at speeds approaching the [[Speed of Light|speed of light]].
: The '''rest mass''' of a [[Subatomic Particle|particle]] is [[Mass-Energy Equivalence|equivalent]] to its total [[energy]] (when stationary relative to an observer) divided by the [[Speed of Light|speed of light]] squared.
: The '''rest mass''' for a given [[Subatomic Particle|subatomic particle]] is the same from all reference frames.
: The '''rest mass''' for a given [[Subatomic Particle|particle]] is identical to the '''rest mass''' of its [[antimatter]] counterpart.

===Equations===
The '''rest mass''' is related to the [[Rest Energy|rest energy]] by the [[Mass-Energy Equivalence|mass-energy equivalence]] shown in the following equation

<math>m = \frac{E}{c^2}</math>

Where

<math>m =</math> The '''rest mass''' of a [[Subatomic Particle|particle]].

<math>E =</math> The '''rest energy''' of a [[Subatomic Particle|particle]].

<math>c =</math> The speed of [[light]] (<math>3.00\times10^{8}ms^{-1}</math> in a [[vacuum]]).
