Question 4 (1 point)
Two protons collide in the large hadron collider (LHC). The world record collisions are at 13 TeV, with both protons having 6.5 TeV of energy, but many millions of collisions happen. When a proton is moving along the beam with a speed of 0.320c, what is its Newtonian momentum in the frame of reference of the LHC (to 2 significant figures)? [You will have to look up some quantities to 3 significant figures]
Note: Your answer is assumed to be reduced to the highest power possible.

Question 6 (2 points)
How slowly would a proton have to be moving along the LHC beam for its relativistic momentum to be 1% different from the Newtonian momentum in the frame of reference of the LHC (to 2 significant figures)? Enter your answer as some number (in scientific notation) with the units as c (e.g. 0.320c would be entered as 3.2 x 10^-1 c).
Note: Your answer is assumed to be reduced to the highest power possible.

Question 4. Newtonian mometum p = mo v
mo rest mass of proton , v = velocity of proton = 0.32 c
p = 1.6726219 * 10^ -27 * 032 * 3 * 10^8 m /sec
p = 1.605 * 10^-19 kg m/sec
question 5
Relativistic mometum , p = mo v / sqrt (1- v^2 /c^2) using v = 0.32 c
= 1.605 * 10^-19 / 0.947
= 1.694 * 10^-19 kg .m/sec
