Homework Statement
http://grephysics.net/ans/9277/70
I'm not interested in how you get the right answer, I'm really just curious if somebody could show me where my thought process was flawed.
Total Energy = E = 100mc^2
Rest Energy = Mc^2
Total Energy = Kinetic Energy + Rest Energy
100mc^2 = p^2/2m + mc^2
99mc^2 = p^2/2m
198(mc)^2 = p^2
sqrt(198)mc = P
and yet the correct answer is
10^4(mc)
where is my method flawed?
