Problem 1.148

The reference frame, in which the centre of inertia of a given system of particles is at rest, translates with a velocity V relative to an inertial reference frame K.K . The mass of the system of particles equals mm, and the total energy of the system in the frame of the centre of inertia is equal to E~\widetilde{E}. Find the total energy EE of this system of particles in the reference frame KK

Reveal Answer
E=E~+mV2/2E=\widetilde{E}+m V^{2} / 2
