A proton is in a particle accelerator. The proton moves in a straight line from one end of the accelerator to the other, a distance of 2.58 km. The proton's total energy is 45.0 GeV. The rest energy of an proton is 938 MeV. (a) Find the y factor associated with the energy of the proton. (b) Imagine an observer moving along with the proton at the same speed. How long does the accelerator appear to the moving observer? (Express your answer in units of meters.) m
