Light speed and classical physics.
a. How much energy would it take to accelerate an electron to light speed according to classical (non-relativistic) physics?
b. With this energy, what is its actual (relativistic) speed?
if any doubt please ask... and like please.
Thank you.

How much energy is required to accelerate a spaceship with a rest mass of 139 metric tons to a speed of 0.528 c? Hints: In the acceleration process the energy we have is converted to the kinetic energy of the spaceship. The classical kinetic energy of an object is half of the mass multiplied by the square of the velocity. What is the relativistic form of the kinetic energy? Incorrect.

An electron in a television picture tube has a classical kinetic energy of 78 keV, which is the kinetic energy that Newton would calculate using the measured speed and rest mass of the electron. What is the actual kinetic energy of the electron; that is, what is the value found using the relativistic result for the kinetic energy? (Give your answer in units of keV)

1. How much energy is required to accelerate a spaceship with a rest mass of 133 metric tons to a speed of 0.558 c? 2. Every day our Earth receives 1.55×1022 J energy from the Sun. If we were able to use 0.75 percent of this energy to accelerate spaceships, then how many missions would be possible in one year?
Einstein's first postulate (the relativity principle) states that: a. the speed of light is independent of the speed of the source or observer. b. the laws of physics have the same form in all inertial reference frames. c. the length of an object moving relative to an observer is measured to be shorter along its direction of motion than when it is at rest. d. at speeds much less than the speed of light, the relativistic formulas reduce to the...
