In Fig. 9-67, block 1 of mass m1 slides from rest along a frictionless ramp from height h 2.50 m and then collides with stationary block 2, which has mass m2 ! 2.00m1.After the collision, block 2 slides into a region where the coefficient of kinetic friction mk is 0.500 and comes to a stop in distance d within that region. What is the value of distance d if the collision is (a) elastic and (b) completely inelastic?

QUESTION:
In Fig. 9-67, block 1 of mass m1 slides from rest along a frictionless ramp from height h 2.50 m and then collides with stationary block 2, which has mass m2 ! 2.00m1.After the collision, block 2 slides into a region where the coefficient of kinetic friction mk is 0.500 and comes to a stop in distance d within that region. What is the value of distance d if the collision is (a) elastic and (b) completely inelastic?
ANSWER:Step 1 of 4 a) The law of conservation of energy for block-1 is given by, Implies, The height of the ramp, So, The final velocity of block-2 is given by, We have,
