Question

Two lumps of clay, each of rest mass m, collide head on when travelling at a speed 0.6c. They stick together after collision. (i) What is the speed of the composite lump? (05 points) (ii) What is the mass of the composite lump in terms of m? (15 points) (iii) What is the change in the internal energy? Is it increased or decreased?
