Relativistic Energy and Momentum:
Part A: A meteorite of mass 1500kg moves with a speed of 0.700c . Find the magnitude of its momentum p.
Part B: Compare your answer to
Part A with what you would have found had you used the classical expression for momentum p=mv. How do the relativistic and the classical momenta compare? Part C: What is the total energy E of the meteorite?
Part D: What would the energy of the meteorite be if it were at rest?
Part E: What is the relativistic kinetic energy K of the meteorite when it travels at 0.700c ?
Part F: Compare your answer to Part E with what you would have found if you had used the classical expression for kinetic energy: K=12mv2. How do the relativistic and classical expressions for kinetic energy compare?
