AP Physics 1 Impulse-Momentum Unit HW

A block with mass m1 = 0.500 kg is released from rest on a frictionless track at a distance h1 = 2.50 m above the top of the table. It then collides elastically with an object having mass m2 = 1.00 kg that is initially at rest on the table, as shown in Figure P6.71. (a) Determine the velocities of the tow objects just after the collision. (b) How hight up the track does the 0.500-kg object travel back after the collision? (c) How far away from the bottom of the table does the 1.00-kg object land, given the height of the table is h2 = 2.00 m? ...
