Question:

A particle is said to be extremely relativistic when its kinetic energy is much greater than its rest energy.
(a) What is the speed of a particle (expressed as a fraction of c) such that the total energy is ten times the rest energy?
(b) What is the percentage difference between the left and right sides of Eq. (37.39) if (me')' is neglected for a particle with the speed calculated in part (a)?
