How much work is required to accelerate a proton from rest up to a speed of 0.993 c? express your answer with the appropriate units. what would be the momentum of this proton? express your answer with the appropriate units.

(a). The work done is 7001 MeV.

(b). The momentum of this proton is .

Explanation:

Given that,

Speed = 0.993 c

We need to calculate the work done

Using work energy theorem

The work done is equal to the kinetic energy relative to the proton

Put the value into the formula

(b). We need to calculate  the momentum of this proton

Using formula of momentum

Put the value into the formula

Hence, (a). The work done is 7001 MeV.

(b). The momentum of this proton is .

answer and explanation;

truck y has a greater velocity than truck x.
