Determine the speed of the heavier fragment

Reference no: EM13340631

An unstable particle at rest breaks up into two fragments of unequal mass. The mass of the lighter fragment is equal to 2.00 10-28 kg and that of the heavier fragment is 1.60 10-27 kg. If the lighter fragment has a speed of 0.893c after the breakup, what is the speed of the heavier fragment?
