Graduate Reference frame where perfectly inelastic collision preserves kinetic energy
Alright, but suppose the first object starts at a constant velocity and the second at rest; without an initial frame at which both are at rest, the conjecture you present ceases to be useful. So, how might your answer adapt to fit the aforementioned situation? -

Graduate Reference frame where perfectly inelastic collision preserves kinetic energy
How would one find the reference frame in which an object [which undergoes a perfectly inelastic collision with a second object] experiences no change in its kinetic energy?
