1. (10 points) Prove that the relation between the kinetic energy K and the momentum p can be expressed in the alternative forms pa K = 2m + K c2 and cp = VK(K + 2mc2) (1) The first of these shows that the plot of p?/K versus K is a straight line. Such a plot can be used to analyze experimental data of measurements of K and p; deviations from the relativistic formulas would show up as deviations from the straight line.
