- A small block of mass M is released from rest at the top of the curved frictionless ramp shown in the figure. The block slides down the ramp and is moving with a speed of 3.50 m/s when it collides with a larger block mass 1.5M at rest at the bottom of the incline. The larger block moves to the right with a speed of 2m/s immediately after the collision. Express your answer in speed of the small block after the collision in terms of the given quantities and fundamental constants. ... 1.5M 2 M - 1.50 A V small block M ЗМ— 1.50M в) V small block M 3.50 (m/s) M-3(m/s)M © v V small block M 3.50 (m/s) M- 1.50(m/s) M D V small block Marrow_forwardA curiosidade child stands on the top of a 670 m Skyscraper and Drops a coin from the top of the building.
