A m1 = 0.600 kg block is released from rest at the top of a frictionless track h1 = 2.95 m above the top of a table. It then collides elastically with a 1.00 kg block that is initially at rest on the table, as shown in Figure P6.57.

(a) Determine the velocities of the two blocks just after the
collision. (Assume the positive direction is to the right. Indicate
the direction with the signs of your answers.)
velocity of m1
m/s
velocity of m2
m/s
(b) How high up the track does the 0.600 kg block travel back after
the collision?
m
(c) How far away from the bottom of the table does the 1.00 kg
block land, given that the table is 1.90 m high?
m
(d) How far away from the bottom of the table does the 0.600 kg
block eventually land?
m
