Consider a particle of mass

m

moving with a speed

v

. If

T_{R}

denotes the relativistic kinetic energy and

T_{N}

its non-relativistic approximation, then the value of

\frac{( T _{R} - T _{N} )}{T _{R}}

for

v = 0.01 c

, is

1 $1.25 \times 10^{- 5}$
2 $5.0 \times 10^{- 5}$
3 $7.5 \times 10^{- 5}$
4 $1.0 \times 10^{- 4}$
