hi guys I am new to this forum so this is my first post would appriciete some help with this problem
in a colliding beam experiment, in a laboratory frame equal and opposite velocity proton beams collide. the relative velocity of the beams is 2.99 x 10^8 m/s, calculate the magnitude of the velocity of each beam realtive to the lab?
this is all the info i have any guidance on how to approch this would be very useful
thanks
