Question

You are given that gamma=5 and the ratio v/c=0.979
A) The non relativistic kinetic energy of a particle of mass m can be written as xmc^2, where x is a number. For gamma=5 what is x?
B) The relativistic expression is ymc^2. For gamma=5 what is y? You are given that gamma=5 and the ratio v/c=0.979

A) The non relativistic kinetic energy of a particle of mass m can be written as xmc^2, where x is a number. For gamma=5 what is x?
B) The relativistic expression is ymc^2. For gamma=5 what is y?

Explanation / Answer

A) The non relativistic kinetic energy of a particle of mass m = mc^2

So, x = 1

B)  relativistic expression = gamma*mc^2

So, y = gamma = 5
