A yellow ball has a velocity of 6.5m/s and struck a red ball which is at rest. The red ball has a mass of 170g and the yellow ball is twice as the mass of the red ball. After perfectly inelastic collision, the velocity of the balls goes off 60° with respect to the original direction of motion. Find the velocity of the two balls after impact. Find the Kinetic Energy lost.
