A small block of mass m1 5 0.500 kg is released from rest at the top of a frictionless, curve-shaped wedge of mass m2 5 3.00 kg, which sits on a frictionless, horizontal surface as shown in Figure P9.80a. When the block leaves the wedge, its velocity is measured to be 4.00 m/s to the right as shown in Figure P9.80b. (a) What is the velocity of the wedge after the block reaches the horizontal surface?
