(g)

Answer to Problem 44AP
Explanation of Solution
Given info: The non-relativistic expression for the acceleration is
From the answer of part (f) the expression for the acceleration is,
Here,
In part (c), the speed at high energy approaches to the speed of light. But from the acceleration equation if the energy is imparted to the particle at constant input power the acceleration is steeply decreases because the acceleration is inversely proportional to the cube root of the kinetic energy. So at high energy acceleration is very less and the velocity of the particle approaches to a constant value as indicate in part (c).
Conclusion:
Therefore, the acceleration of the particle is very less at high energy that gives the velocity of the particle a constant value.
