Two protons are initially moving towards each other with equal speeds in the laboratory. They continue to exist after experiencing a head-on collision that also produces a neutral pion of rest energy 135 MeV. If the protons and the pion are all at rest after the collision, find a) the initial kinetic energy of the protons, and b) the initial speed of the protons.
