What Are the Momentum and Energy of Photons from a Decaying Particle?
hi wondering if i could get a little help with this question A particle with rest mass m has kinetic energy equal to twice its rest energy. The particle decays into 2 photons which emerge in opposite directions, one traveling in the same direction as the particle before its decay. Find...- da_warped_1

Can Frame S' Make Two Events Simultaneous?
hi, wondering if anyone could give me a little help with this question The space and time coordinates of two events are measured in frame S to be: Event 1: x1 = L, t1 = L/c Event 2: x2 = 2L, t2 = L/2c (a) find the velocity of a frame S' in which both events occur at the same time...- da_warped_1
