The energy of a cosmic ray is given by mc2, where m is the mass of the particle, c is the speed of light, and is the Lorentz factor and . If a cosmic ray proton is traveling at a speed of = 0.999999c, what is its energy? How does that compare to the kinetic energy of a grape thrown up in the air and caught in your mouth? Assume the grape has a mass of about 5 grams and a speed of 0.5 m/s when you catch it. The mass of a proton is 1.7 * 10-27 kg.
