A particle and its anti-particle have the same mass and charge, but the charges will be of
opposite polarity. A particle and its anti-particle annihilate and produce two photons. The
particle has kinetic energy 2.0 MeV collides head on with its anti-particle that is at rest.
Find the energy and momentum of each photon.
