A proton moves with a speed of 0. 985c. (a) calculate its rest energy

Sagot :

The rest energy of the proton will be 938 MeV. The rest energy is related to the rest mass of the proton.

What is rest energy?

The rest energy is the rest mass times the square of the speed of light of a particle at rest in an inertial frame of reference.

The rest energy is found as;

[tex]\rm E_R= mC^2\\\\ E_R=(1.67 \times 10^{-27})\times 3 \times 10^8)^2\\\\ E_R= 9.375 \times 10^8 / eV[/tex]

Convert into the mega electron volt;

[tex]\rm E_R= 938 \ MeV[/tex]

Hence, the rest energy of the proton will be 938 MeV
