Consequences of Relativity
35. Special Relativity / Consequences of Relativity / Problem 4
In a physics experiment, a particle that has a mass of 2.30 grams is accelerated to reach a velocity that is 70% of the speed of light (0.70c). Determine (i) the rest energy, (ii) the kinetic energy, and (iii) the total energy of this particular particle at this speed. Express your final answer using the most appropriate of the following prefixes: mega (M), giga (G), or tera (T).
