We are giving a particle with mass 400 Mev/C2 and 200 MeV KE.
What is the Energy of the particle?
Is it 600 MeV or 200 MeV?

orangepeelsnice said:the obvious answer is to say it the E = Eo+KE = 600 MeV
Rest energy is the energy an object possesses due to its mass, according to Einstein's famous equation, E=mc². It is the minimum amount of energy required to keep an object at rest.
Rest energy is the energy an object has at rest, while kinetic energy is the energy an object has due to its motion. Rest energy is constant, while kinetic energy can vary depending on an object's speed.
Yes, rest energy can be converted into kinetic energy. This is known as the mass-energy equivalence principle, where a small amount of rest energy can produce a large amount of kinetic energy.
Nuclear reactions involve the conversion of mass into energy. This means that rest energy plays a crucial role in nuclear reactions, as it is the energy that is released when mass is converted.
Rest energy may seem like a concept that only applies to physics, but it has practical applications in our daily lives. It is used in medical imaging technologies such as PET scans and in nuclear power plants to generate electricity.
