What is the momentum of a 900 MeV proton (that is, its kinetic energy is 900 MeV )? Proton rest mass = 938.3 MeV/c^2.
Added by Darrell H.
Step 1
First, we need to find the total energy of the proton. The total energy is the sum of its kinetic energy and its rest mass energy. Total energy = Kinetic energy + Rest mass energy Show more…
