Momentum and energy equations for the collision

Reference no: EM13538416

A proton of mass m is accelerated up to a kinetic energy K and then collides with a stationary proton at rest. All that is left after the collision is a new particle of mass M.
a. Write out the momentum and energy equations for the collision.
b. What is the maximum mass M that can be created in this collision?
