Question
An unstable particle with a mass equal to 3.34 x 10-27 kg is initially at rest. The particle decays into two fragments that fly off with velocities of 0.975c and -0.870c, respectively. Find the masses
of the fragments. (Hint: Conserve both mass-energy and momentum.)
1.574E-27
m (0.975c)
Your response differs from the correct answer by more than 100%. kg
1.802E-27
