If Newtonian physics were correct for these speeds, momentum conservation would tell us that a ball of mass 2m departs the collision with a speed of 0.40c. Let's do a relativistic collision analysis to determine the mass and speed of the ball after the collision. Part C What is the initial total energy? Give your answer as a fraction times mc². Don't forget that there are two balls. Express your answer in terms of c and m.
