ok. next problem

4. A neutral kaon, K, initially at rest, decays into two pions: The kaon is initially at rest in Frame S with a rest energy of mkc = 498 MeV. After the decay, two pions of equal mass are produced, each moving away in opposite directions along the x-axis. The rest mass energy of a single pion is MTC = 135 MeV. A. Find the energy and momentum of each pion after the decay in Frame S. B. An observer is watching the decay in another frame, S', which moves v = = c in the x- direction with respect to S. What are the energy and momentum of each pion according to an observer in Frame S'
