The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is an accelerator at the Center for European Nuclear Research in Geneva, Switzerland. It uses collisions between protons to generate and study quarks and other elementary particles. If the kinetic energy of a proton in the LHC is 7.0 TeV ( 7.0 × 1012 eV), what are 

(a) The speed of the proton and 

(b) The momentum of the proton? 

(c) Compare your result to the momentum of a mosquito (mass approximately 1 milligram) flying at a speed of 1 m/s.
