6) Two protons are each accelerated to a kinetic energy of 2-GeV and are then collided head-on. a. Determine the total energy (in GeV) and momentum (in GeV/c) of each proton as measured in the laboratory frame. Recall that the rest mass energy of a proton is 0.938 GeV. b. Determine the speed (in units of c) of each proton just before the collision as measured in the lab frame. c. Determine the speed (in units of c) of each proton just before the collision as measured in the rest frame of the other proton. d. Determine the momentum (in GeV/c) that would be measured for one of the protons by an observer in the rest frame of the other proton?
