Problem 15 Easy Difficulty

The mass of a theoretical particle that may be associated with the unification of the electroweak and strong forces is $10^{14}$ GeV/c $^{2}$ . (a) How many proton masses is this? (b) How many electron masses is this? (This indicates how to make the particle, and how large the relativistic quantity $\gamma$ would have to be.)

Answer

a. $1 \times 10^{14}$
b. $1 \times 10^{17}$

new part of that has a mass off tend to the time into the 14 Ze'evi Chrissy Square. I want to know the racial between the this mass and the mass of the proton for part a. So there's this 10 to the fourth thing, divided by 98 times 10 to the minus t. And there's this 1.7 times 10 to the 14. So this is the racial from the Pro TEM and for the electron I am over e Hey Stan to the fourth thing and the electron in G V 0.511 vanished into the ministry. And there's this 1.96 times 10 to the man 70. This narration for the proton is the racial.
