In a proton linear accelerator, protons are accelerated to have a kinetic energy of 520 Me. What is the speed of these protons? (The rest mass of a proton is 1.67 × 10-27 kg.)
The IKAROS spacecraft, launched in 2010, was designed to test the feasibility of solar sails for spacecraft propulsion. These large, ultralight sails are pushed on by the force of light from the sun, so the spacecraft doesn't need to carry any fuel. The force on IKAROS's sails was measured to be 1.12 mNmN. If this were the only force acting on the 290 kg spacecraft, by how much would its speed increase after 7.0 months of flight? Assume there are 30 days in each month.

Antimatter: When a particle and its anti-particle collide, energy and momentum are conserved. However, the particles can annihilate each other and produce two gamma rays - high energy photons. An electron and an anti-electron each have a rest mass of 9.11 × 10-31 kg. Suppose the particles are each accelerated to a speed of 0.98c in a particle accelerator with a length of 1543 m for a head on collision. (Each particle is moving at this speed with respect to the lab, and the particles are moving in opposite directions.) They collide head on and annihilate. What is the wavelength of the gamma rays produced in this collision?
If someone travels at v = 0.99c, she can become younger than her children (assuming the kids stay home on Earth). In one or two sentences, explain how this is possible.
You and your secret celebrity crush pass each other in rockets that are each traveling 0.56c relative to the other. Your secret celebrity crush takes a nap and you decide to time how long the nap takes. In your frame, the nap takes 1.7 h. How long was the nap in your secret celebrity crush's frame? Unbeknownst to you, your secret celebrity crush's agent is onboard the celebrity's rocket and saw you timing the nap. Concerned, the agent decides to time how long you were timing the nap. In the agent's frame, how long were you timing your secret celebrity crush's nap?
James (mass 81.0 kg) and Ramon (mass 57.0 kg) are 20.0 m apart on a frozen pond. Midway between them is a mug of their favorite beverage. They pull on the ends of a light rope stretched between them. Ramon pulls on the rope to give himself a speed of 1.10 m/s. What is James's speed? It must have the proper dimensions of speed.

At Brookhaven National Laboratory in New York, atomic nuclei are accelerated to 99.995% of the ultimate speed limit of the universe—the speed of light, c. Compared to the kinetic energy of a nucleus moving at 99.000% of c, the kinetic energy of the same nucleus moving at 99.995% of c is about (i) 0.001% greater; (ii) 0.1% greater; (iii) 1% greater; (iv) 2% greater; (v) 16 times greater.
dx 4x 3. In so-called "natural units" (which is just a sneaky way to let us ignore a bunch of constants), the relativistic kinetic energy of a rigid body is given by the formula 1 КЕ — т V1 – v2 where m is the rest mass of the body and v is its relative speed. Alien scientists on a space station are observing an object falling into a black hole. As the object falls, it is disintegrating, losing mass at a rate of 3 (so its mass is changing at a rate of -3). How fast is the kinetic energy of the main part of the object changing when its mass is 20, its velocity is .7, and it is accelerating at a rate of .1 (remember that acceleration is the derivative of velocity with respect to time: a = dt 1Note that this formula does not make sense when v > 1. That is because in natural units, a speed of 1 corresponds to the speed of light, and nothing with positive rest mass can go that fast.
