A particle of mass M decays into two identical particles each of mass m, where m

Question

A particle of mass M decays into two identical particles each of mass m, where m = 0.2M. Prior to the decay, the particle of mass M has a total energy of 4Mc2 in the laboratory reference frame. The velocities of the decay product are along the direction of motion M. Find the velocities of the decay products in the laboratory reference frame. (Round your answer to three decimal places.)

.999 c (higher speed product)
____ c (lower speed product) ?

I have already solved for the higher speed product but can't figure out the lower speed product

Explanation / Answer

initial speed of M is not provided.
