Question
Please show the steps. I am a little confused. Thank you!

Transcribed Image Text:A block of mass \( m = 8.40 \, \text{kg} \), moving on a horizontal frictionless surface with a speed of \( 4.20 \, \text{m/s} \), makes a perfectly elastic collision with a block of mass \( M \) at rest. After the collision, the \( 8.40 \, \text{kg} \) block recoils with a speed of \( 0.400 \, \text{m/s} \). In the figure, the blocks are in contact for \( 0.200 \, \text{s} \). The magnitude of the average force on the \( 8.40 \, \text{kg} \) block, while the two blocks are in contact, is closest to
**Diagram Explanation:**
- The diagram shows two blocks on a frictionless surface.
- **Before Collision:**
- The block with mass \( m \) (8.40 kg) is moving to the right with an initial velocity \( v_i \).
- The block with mass \( M \) is at rest.
- **After Collision:**
- The block with mass \( m \) moves to the left with velocity \( v_f \).
- The block with mass \( M \) moves to the right with velocity \( V \).
The problem involves analyzing the forces during the contact time and determining the average force experienced by the \( 8.40 \, \text{kg} \) block.
