what is the answer for the qustion 2?
A proton‑antiproton annihilation takes place, leaving two photons with a combined energy of 2.50 GeV. Find the kinetic energy Kp of the proton if the proton had the same kinetic energy as the antiproton. Find the kinetic energy Kp′ of the proton if the proton had 1.25 times as much kinetic energy as the antiproton.
