Homework Statement
A K meson has a total energy of 890 MeV in a laboratory where it decays along
its line of flight into two π mesons. At what speed is the K meson traveling in the
laboratory frame prior to the decay? What are the velocities and energies of the π
mesons in the laboratory frame?
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
Would the two pi mesons be moving together? If so, I know how to solve the problem...
If they would be - why do they? If not, why not?
Thanks
