6. A proton mass appears to be 1.715 x 10-27 kg. (a) What is a proton's 'rest mass' energy? State your answer in both Joules and electron-volts (eV). [Look up the correct recently agreed-upon proton 'rest mass' and use this mass to 4 sig-figs.] (b) What is this proton's total mass-energy? State your answer in both Joules and electron-volts (eV). (c) What is the 'gamma' value (Y) for relativistic correction for this fast-moving proton? (d) How fast is this proton travelling? State your answer in both "m/s" and as a 'beta' value (the corresponding decimal amount of 'c': B = v/c). (e) What is the magnitude of this proton's relativistic momentum? (f) What is its relativistic kinetic energy in electron-volts?
