a 600 gram banana sliding north on a frictionless table at 2.5 meters per second bounces of a 400 gram kiwi fruit that is initially at rest , after colliding the banana continues moving north at 0.5 meters per second. At the North edge of the track is a frictionless inclined ramp which the kiwi fruit slides up to then the kiwi comes back down the ramp , without losing energy , and will now be moving south , the kiwi will catch up and hit the banana again , if the collision this time is sticky how fast will the fruit salad be moving after this second collision ?

Question
a 600 gram banana sliding north on a frictionless table at 2.5 meters per second bounces of a 400 gram kiwi fruit that is initially at rest , after colliding the banana continues moving north at 0.5 meters per second. At the North edge of the track is a frictionless inclined ramp which the kiwi fruit slides up to then the kiwi comes back down the ramp , without losing energy , and will now be moving south , the kiwi will catch up and hit the banana again , if the collision this time is sticky how fast will the fruit salad be moving after this second collision ?
Expert Solution
Step 1

Mass of banana =600gm

Initial speed of banana = 2.5m/s

Mass of kiwi = 400gm

Initial speed of kiwi =0

After 1st collision speed of banana toward north = 0.5m/s

Friction is not present
