Two blocks are released from the positions shown in the diagram. Block 1 has a mass of 3.69 kg and is released from a height A = 1.36 m. Block 2 has a mass of 4.21 kg and is released from B = 3.7 m. The blocks undergo an elastic head-on collision on the frictionless track. What are the velocities of the blocks just before they collide? (Take the initial direction of block 1 to be positive.)
