Relativistic Mechanics

Problem 1.381

A relativistic particle with momentum pp and total energy EE moves along the xx axis of the frame K.K . Demonstrate that in the frame KK^{\prime} moving with a constant velocity VV relative to the frame KK in the positive direction of its axis xx the momentum and the total energy of the given particle are defined by the formulas: px=pxEV/c21β2,E=EpxV1β2 p_{x}^{\prime}=\frac{p_{x}-E V / c^{2}}{\sqrt{1-\beta^{2}}}, \quad E^{\prime}=\frac{E-p_{x} V}{\sqrt{1-\beta^{2}}} where β=V/c\beta=V / c
