A K+-meson (with a rest mass of 493.7 MeV/c2) initially at rest decays into a μ+ (positive muon with rest mass of 105.7 MeV/c2), Two photons and a neutrino (assume exactly zero rest mass - not quite true). The Muon is observed to move along the x-axis with momentum 100MeV/c. The two photons are observed to have identical energies but opposite directions along the positive and negative y-axes. The neutrino (not shown) is unseen. Find the energies of the photons.Hint:...

Two protons (resting mass M=1.67*10-27kg) move in opposite directions at the same rate. After collision, the protons are retained, but the collision results in a new particle having a rest mass of m=2.75*10-28kg. 1a) Calculate the kinetic energy of the proton in MeV
