It has followed from experiments using cyclotrons that the inertial mass (or the resistance against velocity change) has been increasing with particle velocities. This increase has been interpreted as relativistic phenomenon of growing rest mass. However, there are no papers available where the relativistic predictions would be confronted with corresponding experimental data. It will be shown that the given increasing resistance against velocity change with increasing velocity may be interpreted also as a classical phenomenon. In such a case the velocity of matter objects would not be, however, limited by the light velocity; it might rise in principle to infinity. In this classical case it is not, of course, possible at the present to derive an exact dependence between energy and velocity. One may establish only a function dependence containing one free parameter (of velocity dimension) that is to be determined on the basis of corresponding experimental data. The given alternatives give, however, significantly different predictions. The comparison with experimental data should decide which of these two alternatives corresponds actually to the reality.
