8. Refer to the previous problem. The parent particle moves in the lab with kinetic energy 800 MeV, and one daughter particle is emitted along the parent’s direction of motion. Find the lab kinetic energy (in MeV) for the daughter emitted backwards in the parent’s rest frame.

Previous Problem: 7. A particle of rest energy 800 MeV decays in its rest frame into two identical particles of rest energy 250 MeV. What are the kinetic energies (in MeV), momenta (in MeV/c), and velocities (in units of c) of the daughter particles?
