Relativistic momentum P = 7.3 ( classical momentum)

   (m o v) / [1 -(v 2 / c 2 ) ] 1/2 = 7.3 m o v

(m o ) / [1 -(v 2 / c 2 ) ] 1/2 = 7.3 m o

    1 / [1 -(v 2 / c 2 ) ] 1/2 = 7.3

         [1 -(v 2 / c 2 ) ] 1/2 = 1 / 7.3

                                   = 0.1369

      [1 -(v 2 / c 2 ) ]   = 0.0187

                 (v 2 / c 2 ) = 0.9812

                      v / c = 0.9905

                          v = 0.9905 c

                          v = 0.99 c
