There are three identical particles of mass m each.Particles B and C are at rest in the laboratory frame of reference,where particle A with a momentum p moves toward them ata speed close to the speed of light, along the "connecting line"(see figure). Particle A hits B and both continue moving togetheras one body and hit particle C.
A. What should be magnitude of the momentum pso that after the second collision - two identical particles willbe formed, each with a mass of 2m ?and kinetic energy in the masscenter frame of reference of 0.5*mc2 each
