Two particles with rest masses m1 and m2 are observed to move along the observer’s z axis toward each other with speeds v1 and v2, respectively. Upon collision, they are observed to coalesce into one particle of rest mass m3 moving with speed v3 relative to the observer. Find m3 and v3 in terms of m1, m2, v1, and v2. Would it be possible for the resultant particle to be a photon, that is, m3 = 0, if neither m1 nor m2 are zero?
