The rest energy, m0c2, of a particle with a kinetic energy K and a momentum p can

Question:

The rest energy, m0c2, of a particle with a kinetic energy K and a momentum p can be determined as follows:
(ре)? - к? тос? 2K

Suppose a pion (a subatomic particle) is observed to have a kinetic energy K = 35.0 MeV and a momentum p = 5.61 × 10-20 kg3 m/s = 105 MeV/c. What is the rest energy of the pion? Give your answer in MeV.
