Question:

The table below lists the total energy and corresponding momentum for a particle. They?re measured in MeV and MeV/c, respectively commonly used units in particle physics. Determine suitable functions of these quantities to plot such that the resulting plot should be a straight line. Plot your data, determine a best-fit line, and use it to find(a) the value of c(b) the particle?s mass. You may need to convert to SI before plotting. Can you identify the particle?
