Relativistic Energy and Momentum

According to classical physics, time flow is the same for every observer. But according to einstein's theory, time flow is different for different observers. The idea that time flow is not the same for all may sound strange because we may not experience this effect in everyday life. This effect is only observed when an object moves with some velocity comparable to the velocity of light. This velocity is termed relativistic velocity.

An alpha particle has a mass of 6.4E-27kg is propagating at relativistic speeds and has an energy of 6.48GeV (so 6.48E9 eV) What is the speed of the particle, expressed in units of c, c being the speed of light. Keep three significant digits.
A particle's dynamics are considered "relativistic" when its velocity is a significant fraction of the speed of light. For example, the mass of a moving particle seen by a stationary observer increases in proportion to the square root of 1/(1 - (v/c)2). For typical speeds in the everyday world it is not noticeable, but take a fast moving fundamental particle and you may have apparent mass increases or changes in its lifetime as a consequence of time dilation. Look at this factor for the electron you measured at 100 V in the glass globe. Pick the best answer. The effect is less than 0.1 %. The effect is around 1%. The effect is around 10%. The effect is a factor of 2 change in mass.
