35. Special Relativity / Consequences of Relativity / Problem 23

Envision a hypothetical scenario where a novel particle, rutron, moves to the right and its antiparticle (anti-rutron) moves to the left with the same speed. When these particles inevitably collide, they annihilate each other, producing two gamma-ray photons of wavelength 1.2 fm and a viton and anti-viton pair with a speed of 0.92c. Determine the initial speed of the rutron and anti-rutron, in terms of c, before the collision. Take the mass of the rutron to be 1.52 × 10 -27 kg and that of the viton to be 8.21 × 10 -31 kg.
