Evaluate the speed of the heavier fragment

Reference no: EM13649194

An unstable particle at rest breaks up into two fragments ofunequal mass. The mass of the lighter fragment is3.00 x 10-28 kg and that of the heavier fragmentis 1.70 x 10-27 kg. If the lighter fragment has aspeed of 0.893c after the breakup, what is the speed of the heavier fragment?
