In the laboratory frame, a particle of rest mass mo and speed v is moving toward a particle of mass mo at rest. What is the speed of the inertial frame in which the total momentum of the system is zero?
1
\(V \approx \frac{c^2}{v}(1 - \sqrt{1 - v^2/c^2}) \)
2
\(V \approx \frac{v^2}{c}(1 - \sqrt{1 - v^2/c^2}) \)
3
\(V \approx v(1 - \sqrt{1 - v^2/c^2}) \)
4
\(V \approx c(1 - \sqrt{1 - v^2/c^2}) \)
