Physicists and engineers from around the world came 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. What is the speed v of a proton in the LHC if the proton’s kinetic energy is 7.0 TeV? (Because v is very close to c, write v=(1−Δ)cv=(1−Δ)c and give your answer in terms of ΔΔ.)

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question,

The kinetic energy of protons

K = 7eV.

Mass of proton and the speed of light are the given parameters.

Please kindly go through the files I attached for a step by step explanation of the answer required.
