A small block of mass 2.1 kg is released from rest at the top of the curved frictionless ramp shown. The
block slides down the ramp and is moving with a speed of 14.4 m/s when it collides with a larger block (1.5
times the mass). (Use g = 9.8 m/s2)
Determine the height (h) of the ramp.
If the larger block moves to the right with a speed of 7 m/s immediately after the collision, find the
velocity of the small block immediately after the collision.
Use RIGHT for positive, and LEFT for negative values.
m/s
The larger block slides 6.4 m before coming to rest.
Find the acceleration of the block.
m/s2
Find the coefficient of friction µ between this block and the surface.
