Question
A block of mass m = 3.6 kg, moving on a frictionless surface with a speed vi=9.3m/s makes a sudden perfectly elastic collision with a stationary block of mass M, as shown in the figure. Just after the collision, the 3.6-kg block recoils with a speed of vf=2.7m/s What is the speed V of the other block?
