Consider three accelerators that produce high-energy particles: The large hadron collider, which will soon produce protons with kinetic energy equal to 7TeV, the Stanford Linear accelerator, which produces electrons with 50GeV kinetic energy. And the relativistic heavy ion collider produces gold nuclei (mass 197 u) with kinetic energy of 20TeV. In each case, calculate the difference c - v between the speed of light and the speed of the particle. Please explain step by step how to solve it and express every equation and how to use it
