Homework Statement
Derive the relation:
[itex]E' = \gamma (E + \beta p c)[/itex]
Homework Equations
[itex]p' = \gamma p \\
E^{2} = p^{2} c^{2} + M^{2}c^{4}[/itex]
The Attempt at a Solution
start off with stationary frame S [itex]E=mc^{2}[/itex]
then in moving frame S' [itex]E'^{2} = p'^{2} c^{2} + E^{2}[/itex]:
lorent transform momentum:
[itex]E'^{2} = \gamma^{2} m^{2} v^{2}c^{2} + E^{2}[/itex]
and that's as far as I get!
