Question: A relativistic particle with momentum p and total energy E moves along the x axis of the frame K. Demonstrate that in the frame K'

A relativistic particle with momentum p and total energy E moves along the x axis of the frame K. Demonstrate that in the frame K' moving with a constant velocity V relative to the frame K in the positive direction of its axis x the momentum and the total energy of the given particle are defined by the formulas:

Px-EV/c E- PV E' = Pe = V1-B* VI-Ba

Where β = V/c.

Px-EV/c E- PV E' = Pe = V1-B* VI-Ba
