A mass (m) moves along the x-axis with velocity 2v. Another particle of mass (2m) moves with velocity v along the y-axis. 1) If the two objects collide inelastically and merge, how much kinetic energy is lost to heat? 2) If instead they collide elastically and it turns out that m still moves purely along the x-axis, what is it's velocity in the final state? It may help to find the velocities of these particles in the center of mass...
