8. Refer to the previous problem. The parent particle moves inthe lab with kinetic energy 800 MeV, and one daughter particle isemitted along the parent’s direction of motion. Find the labkinetic energy (in MeV) for the daughter emitted backwards in theparent’s rest frame.

Previous Problem: 7. A particle of rest energy 800 MeV decays inits rest frame into two identical particles of rest energy 250 MeV.What are the kinetic energies (in MeV), momenta (in MeV/c), andvelocities (in units of c) of the daughter particles?
