Physicists and engineers from around the world have come together to build the largest accelerator in the world, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at the CERN Laboratory in Geneva, Switzerland. The machine accelerates protons to high kinetic energies in an underground ring 27 km in circumference. a. What speed v of proton in the LHC if the proton's kinetic energy is 6.7 TeV? (Because v is very close to c, write v=(1−Δ)c and give your answer in terms of Δ).
b. Find the relativistic mass, mrel, of the accelerated protons in terms of their rest mass.
