Consider a frictionless slope as shown in the figure. A block of mass 4.1 kg is released from point A which is at a height 5.9 meters. It makes an elastic head on collision with block of mass 13.4 kg which is initially at rest. If the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.2 on the horizontal portion of the track, how far the mass m₂ will go on the horizontal portion BC before coming to a stop.

Question
Consider a frictionless slope as shown in the figure. A block of mass 4.1 kg is released
from point A which is at a height 5.9 meters. It makes an elastic head on collision with
block of mass 13.4 kg which is initially at rest. If the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.2 on
the horizontal portion of the track, how far the mass m₂ will go on the horizontal portion
BC before coming to a stop.
