Two objects are moving towards each other with velocities V and V

Two objects are moving towards each other with velocities V and V on a frictionless surface. They collide completely inelastically and move together after the collision with a velocity V3 as shown below. The magnitudes of the initial velocity of the second object and the common velocity they move with after the collision are |V| = 25, 6 m/s and |V3|= 17,8 m/s respectively. If the angles are 0: 33 and 0 = 380, determine the ratio of the masses is m/m = k =?? Note that masses can not be negative so the ratio must be positive. Express your answer using two decimal places. - m V 1 0 V3 m V C 02 2
