What happens to the inherent temperature of an object seen from a stationary frame of reference when it travels nearly at speed of light in vacuum?
As the mass increases heat will have to be distributed more and temperature reduces?

The mass of a fast moving object doesn't increase. I assume you're thinking of the relativistic mass but this is not a useful concept and is no longer used. – John Rennie Sep 10 '17 at 19:14

@JohnRennie: Yes, relativistic mass. Why is it no longer used? Didn't know about that. – Sreeraj Chundayil Sep 10 '17 at 19:22

See Why is there a controversy on whether mass increases with speed?. A search for relativistic mass will find you lots and lots of related posts. – John Rennie Sep 10 '17 at 19:26
