4.5. PROBLEMS 87<br />

(a) What is the initial kinetic energy of the system? How much of this is center of mass energy,<br />

and how much is convertible?<br />

(b) What is the maximum amount of kinetic energy that could be “lost” (converted to other forms<br />

of energy) in this collision?<br />

(c) If 60% of the amount you calculated in part (b) is in fact converted into other forms of energy<br />

in the collision, what are the final velocities of the two objects?
