In an experiment, two protons are shot directly toward each other, each moving at half the speed of light relative to the laboratory

Part D

What is the kinetic energy of each proton as measured by an observer riding along with one of the protons? (answer in MeV)

Part F

What would be the answers to part (d) if we used only nonrelativistic Newtonian mechanics? (answer in MeV)
