Consider a proton moving at relativistic speed. (a) Determine the proton’s rest energy in electron volts (1 eV =1.60 x 10-19 J). (b) Suppose the total energy of the proton is three times its rest energy. With what speed is the proton moving? (c) At this speed, determine the kinetic energy of the proton in electron volts. (d) What is the magnitude of the proton’s momentum?
