A particle of rest energy 800 MeV decays in its rest frame intotwo identical particles of rest energy 250 MeV. What are thekinetic energies (in MeV), momenta (in MeV/c), and velocities (inunits of c) of the daughter particles?

Refer to the previous problem. The parent particle moves in thelab 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.

(I'm looking for help on the second problem.)
