Question
A block of mass 1.86 kg is placed on a frictionless floor and initially pushed northward, whereupon it begins sliding with a constant speed of 4.51 m/s. It eventually collides with a second, stationary block, of mass 4.63 kg, head-on, and rebounds back to the south. The collision is 100% elastic. What will be the speeds of the 1.86-kg and 4.63-kg blocks, respectively, after this collision?
