Question- Two identical objects, each of rest massm0, moving with equal but opposite velocities of 0.50cin the laboratory reference frame, collide and stick together. Theresulting particle is at rest with mass M0. Determine anexpression for M0 in terms on m0.
From what I understand, this is a type of rest mass problem usuallygiven in modern physics courses. I came across this one day andtried to attempt it, but could not get anywhere because I could notunderstand what they meant by determining an expression forM0 in terms of m0. Is somebody able to helpme determine an expression for this problem?
