What has to change in the expression F = p / t (which for p = mv is equivalent to Newton's second law) to fit the theory of special relativity?
 a. The momentum p has to equal mv, instead of just mv, where is the relativistic adjustment factor.
  b. The force F has to equal t/p, instead of p/t.
  c. We have to measure t instead of t.
  d. The speed v is replaced by c, the speed of light.
  e. There is no way to reconcile Newton's second law with the theory of special relativity.

  b. 1/2 of the speed of light.
  c. 80 of the speed of light.
