I've posted this 3 times with no response, please help out.

The relativistic momentum (the true definition for momentum) isp= ?mv. The factor ? is equal to (1 - v2/c2)-1/2, where c is the speed of light in vacuum. Determine the relative difference between the non-relativistic (NR) and the relativistic (R) momentum (pR- pNR)/pNRfor

a. v = 300 m/s (a bullet)

b. v = 11 km/s (escape speed from Earth)

c. v = 250 km/s (approximate speed of the sun around galactic center)

d. v = 299,900,000 m/s (speed of a proton in the LHC)

Explanation / Answer

a)0 b)6.7222x10^-10 c)3.472224 x10^-7 d)37.733
