m=E/c² =1.52•10⁻¹⁰/(3•10⁸)²=1.6889•10⁻²⁷kg
m=m₀/√(1- β²)
(1- β²)=(m₀/m)²= (1.6749•10⁻²⁷/1.6889•10⁻²⁷)²=0.983
β =sqrt(1-0.983)=0.128
v= β•c=0.128•3•10⁸=3.85•10⁷m/s

Neutrons have a rest mass of 1.6749*10-27 kg (equivalent to 939.6 MeV).
If a certain neutron has a total energy of 949 MeV, what are its relativistic mass energy in MeV, its speed in m/s, its kinetic energy in MeV, and its momentum in kg.m.s-1?
