Reletive is correct.  Reletivistic usually referes to quantities
involving
high fractions of the speed of light.

Yes, but its all reletive.  It doesn't matter how you look at it or what
you call it.

The mass is reletive.  Gravity is also reletive.  The phenomenon can
be correctly explained in more than one way.
