The middle or centre of the Earth is the core. However the middle of the layers from the surface to the centre of the Earth is known as mantle.
Answer:The slope in the velocity-time graph represents the acceleration. The slope is defined as the ratio of change in y-axis to change in the x-axis. The slope is represented by the letter m and following is the general formula used for determining the slope:
Explanation:
The rest energy of a particle is

where

is the rest mass of the particle and c is the speed of light.
The total energy of a relativistic particle is

where v is the speed of the particle.
We want the total energy of the particle to be twice its rest energy, so that

which means:


From which we find the ratio between the speed of the particle v and the speed of light c:

So, the particle should travel at 0.87c in order to have its total energy equal to twice its rest energy.
