[Trial&Error]

I kind of know how to answer it, but how do I EXPLAIN everything?

The momentum of an electron is measured to be 2.6 x10^-22 kgm/s
Explain why classical physics cannot adequately describe this momentum. Support your response with an appropriate calculation.

I've found v = p/m = 0.95c
Now what do I do?

Thankss

not 100% sure but how id answer it is

show calculation for v
classical fails to account for effects of SR on momentum
define relativistic momentum (as v-->c, p-->infinity)
explain how if it were moving at .95c the measured momentum would be different, so it cannot be going .95c

this question sucks and requires no critical thinking, really should be a 1 marker
