Package 1, with inertia 2kg, is released from rest at a warehouse loading dock and slides down a 3.0-m high, frictionless ramp to a waiting truck. Unfortunately, the truck driver went on a break without having removed the previous package, Package 2, with inertia 4kg, at the bottom of the ramp. Suppose the packages stick together. What is their common speed after the collision? Note: this is a two-stage scenario. Make sure you have a relevant diagram for each stage. Use equations provided on equation sheet only.

4. A radio-active element decays as time passes. The amount of the element present in a sample is given by the equation: A = 5.67e-a.372t Where A is the amount of the element (grams) in the sample t years after the measurements started. (i) Find the amount, correct to three significant figures, of the element present 3 years after the start of the measurements. (ii) Find, to the nearest tenth of a year, the time taken before the amount in the sample is 2 grams. (iii) Find the 'half life' (time taken for the original element to decay to half its original amount) of the element, correct to the nearest tenth of a year.
