Answer

$\beta = 0.99999950 $

Work Step by Step

lorentz factor $\gamma=1000$ We know that formula for lorentz factor is; $\gamma =\frac{1}{\sqrt (1-\frac{1}{\beta^2})}$ Also, the speed parameter $\beta =\sqrt (1-\frac{1}{\gamma^2})$ We substitute $\gamma$ value i,e 1000 in above formula and solve; $\beta =\sqrt (1-\frac{1}{1000^2})$ $\beta = 0.99999950 $
