Question

 Can you please solve this problem showing step by step on a picture.

 A 0.500 kg block is released from rest at the top of a frictionless
track 2.50 m above the top of the table. It then collides elastically
with a 1.00 kg mass that is initially at rest on the table. (a)
Determine the speeds of the two masses just after the collision. (b)
How high up the track does the 0.500-Kg mass travel back after the
collision? [a) 2.3 m/s, 4.7 m/s, b) 0.28 m]
