An unstable particle is at rest and suddenly breaks up into


An unstable particle is at rest and suddenly breaks up into two fragments. No external forces act on the particle or its fragments. One of the fragments has a velocity of +0.900c and a mass of 1.67 10-27 kg, while the other has a mass of 5.81 10-27 kg. What is the velocity of the more massive fragment? (Hint: This problem is similar to Example 6 in Chapter 7.)
