// Scilab Code Ex1.15 Speed at total energy twice the rest mass energy: Pg: 25 (2008) c = 1; // Speed of light is assumed to be unity, m/s m0 = 1; // For convenience, rest mass of the particle is assumed to be unity, kg m = 2*m0; // Mass of the moving particle when m*c^2 = 2*m0*c^2, kg // As m = m0/sqrt(1 - (v/c)^2), solving for v v = sqrt(1 - (m0/m)^2)*c; // Speed of the moving particle, m/s printf("\nThe speed of the moving particle = %5.3fc", v); // Result // The speed of the moving particle = 0.866c
