Solution

a
The external work equals the change in relativistic kinetic energy, W=me​c2(γf​−γi​). With me​c2=511keV,
Wa​=511(1−0.112​1​−1−0.102​1​)keV≃0.5456keV≃8.742×10−17J.​
(1)
The rest energy cancels between endpoints. At these speeds, the nonrelativistic estimate 21​me​c2(0.112−0.102)=0.53655keV is close but slightly smaller.
