May 10, 2014 at 18:29 comment added dmckee --- ex-moderator kitten If you examine the situation in the rest frame of the progenitor, then it should be absolutely clear that the kinetic energies can't be the same. From that I would conclude that the question is asking you about all the energy contributions, including the masses.
May 10, 2014 at 17:53 comment added hb20007 @dmckee yes, particularly in whether the last statement I quoted is true/false
May 10, 2014 at 17:49 comment added dmckee --- ex-moderator kitten Particle physicists do tend to include mass in "energy" most (but not quite all) of the time. But I can take it that you are interested in the relationship between the pre- and post-decay kinetic energies, no?
