OK, that's M_r = 6.442*10^-29kg. Now suppose the particle
is moving due east. (Bear with me please, the point I am
trying to illustrate becomes apparent soon:)

Apply a force of 6.442*10^-29N in an northerly direction
to this particle. What is the acceleration?

Current physics says the mass is  m  = 9.1095*10^-31 kg
and the kinetic energy is         KE = 5.7075*10^-12 J

Note that your M_r = m + KE/c^2

I don't follow, you just said the mass does change above.
I agree the momentum is not linearly related to speed, the
same is also true for the kinetic energy.

I tried "Kaufmann FAQ" in Google and got a baseball library
and a "rotten tomato forum". Can you give me the URL for
this document?
