Determine the ratio of the relativistic kinetic energy to the nonrelativistic kinetic energy $\left(\frac{1}{2} m v^{2}\right)$ when a particle has a speed of (a) $1.00 \times 10^{-3} c$ and $(\mathbf{b}) 0.970 c .$
The relativistic kinetic energy of a particle is three times its rest mass energy. Find the: a) Lorentz factor and speed parameter b) velocity (in m/s) of the particle.

(a) Calculate the relativistic quantity $\gamma=\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-v^{2} / c^{2}}}$ for 1.00 -TeV protons produced at Fermilab. (b) If such a proton created a $\pi^{+}$ having the same speed, how long would its life be in the laboratory? (c) How far could it travel in this time?
