Consider the reaction X(x,y)Y depicted in Figure 13.4, where the target X is at rest. The energy of the center of mass is given by

where v_cm is the speed of the center of mass given by Equation (13.8). Show that the energy available in the center-of-mass system K’cm is given by Equation (13.12):

where K _lab = Mxvx ²/2.
