Question: In experiments, physicists routinely accelerate protons to speeds quite close to the speed of light. The mass of a proton is 1 . 6 7

In experiments, physicists routinely accelerate protons to speeds quite close to the speed of light. The mass of a proton is 1.67 x 10-27 kg, and the proton is moving with a speed of 0.99c. i) Calculate the proton's momentum, according to Newton's definition. i Calculate the proton's relativistic momentum.iii) Determine the ratio of the relativistic momentum to the Newtonian momentum.
a. 

i)4.96 x 10-19 kgm/s
ii)3.52 x 10-18 kg-m/s111)7:1

b. 

i)3.52 x 10-18 kgm/s
ii)4.96 x 10-19 kgm/sTil)1:7

c. 

i)4.96 x 10-19 kgm/s
ii)4.96 x 10-18 kg m/s
iii)10:1

d.

i)4.96 x 10-18 kgm/s
ii)4.96\times 10-19 kgm/s
iii)1:10
