The claim that Newton's second law is close to the relativistic law is not quite accurate; it is more accurate to say, that Newton's second law is applied without the concept of ?mass change'. Does this mean that applying the concept ?mass change' along with Newton's second law allows all the relations in relativistic mechanics to be re-derived without using Einstein's relativity (SRT)? The present paper answers in the affirmative.
