An object of mass M 1 = m collides with velocity v 0 i into an object

Question:

An object of mass M1 = m collides with velocity v0 i into an object of mass M2 = 2m with velocity 1/2v0 j. Following the collision, the mass m2 has a velocity v0/4 i. 

(a) Determine the velocity of the mass m1 after the collision. 

(b) Was this an elastic collision? If not, express the energy change in terms of m and v0.
