They say, Newton's second law is not
exactly true, as the acceleration vector of a
particle is not directly proportional to the
applied force.
This is where they introduce the transverse mass
concept.
Relativistic mass.

That's what I thought too!
I was just trying to make sure that I
am not missing a key-piece of information.
(Precaution :-))
I have an idea regarding the apparent
mass increase when accelerating a body.
The idea would apply without using the
electromagnetic mass concept (at least
not directly).
[ By the way (precaution again), do you know
of any explanation , other than relativistic ones,
for the mass increase "with speed" ? ]

There's another possibility to think about.
Consider this. An electric field could be comprised
of a flux of force carrying emission particles (travelling
at C with respect to their source) and that the force
they can exert on a moving charged body is proportional
to their closure speed with respect to that body.
If the charged "test" body is traveling away from the
source of force carrying particles at the speed of light,
then the force carrying particles will have a closure rate
of zero with respect to the test body. Under this
condition the electrical accelerating force would be ZERO.
A Zero force operating on a constant mass would have the
same effect as a constant force acting on a infinitely
massive body.
How do you decide which effect you're messing with?

I had a similar idea discussed in this
group and the guys kind of criticized me
for it as being far from truth.
