A block of mass M is released from rest at the top of curved frictionless ramp. The block is at the left of the ramp at a height h above the horizontal. The block slides down the ram and is moving with speed of 5.0 v when it collides with a larger block of mass 1.5 M at rest at the bottom of the incline on the right. The large block moves to the right with speed of 2.5 v immediately after collision.
Calculate height of ramp from which small block was released?
Calculate speed of small block after collision?
Larger block slides a distance D before coming to rest. Find value of coefficient of kinetic friction μ between block and surface on which it slides.
