1. A proton has a mass 1.7x10^-27 kg and its speed is v=.969c. When an electric force acts on the proton and does 5.8x10^-9 J of work on the particle, what are the following values? A) Particle energy B) Particle Rest Energy C) Particle Momentum D) Particle Beta
2. Particle energy=> E=(gamma)mc^2 ; Gamma=1/(sqrt(1-(beta^2)) ; Beta= v/c
3. This problem is part of my study guide for a test. There was a whole other section that I completed before the professor threw in the part about the work done on the particle in which I had to find the original beta, gamma, energy and kinetic energy of the particle. I was able to do that successfully, but I don't understand how work done on a particle by means of electric force effects it's energy, rest energy, momentum, and beta. Thanks for your help! :)
