Homework Statement
Find the velocit y and momentum of an electron (rest mass of 0.511MeV) with a
kinet ic energy of 10.0 MeV.
The Attempt at a Solution
The momentum I calculate using sqrt(2KEm) is giving me a V larger than the speed of light. This can't be true.
If I try

5. A photon of energy E strikes an electron at rest and undergoes pair production,
producing a positron and an electron:
photon + e * = e * + Positron + e *
The two electrons and the positron move off with identical momenta in the direct ion of
the init ial photon. Find the kinet ic...
