A block with a mass of 1.86 kg is sliding with a constant velocity of 5.14 m/s to the north, which collides 100% elastically with a second, stationary block, of mass 4.85 kg, head-on, and rebounds back to the south, eventually colliding 100% elastically with a wall and rebounding northward. It then overtakes the second block, which is still moving north as a result of the first collision. What will be the speeds of the 1.86-kg and 4.85-kg blocks, respectively, after their SECOND collision with one another?      1.09 m/s and 3.27 m/s     2.73 m/s and 9.79 m/s     3.94 m/s and 1.09 m/s     3.17 m/s and 5.44 m/s
