for the following question:
find the momentum of an electron whose kinetic energy equals its rest energy of 511 keV.
my problem:
[(gamma)-1]mc^2=511*1000*1.6*10^(-19)
but when i try to calculate the v in the gamma factor, it's impossible to calculate on the calculator because the number is too small...
any suggestions?
