Object 1, with mass m1 and speed 5.3 m/s, slides along
on a frictionless ice rink and then undergoes
a one-dimensional elastic collision with a standstill object 2,
with mass m2 = 0.44m1. The two objects
then slide into a region where the coefficient of kinetic friction
is 0.56; there they stop. How far into that
region do (a) object 1 and (b) object 2 slide? (c) Assume the
collision is inelastic, and that the objects
stick together. How far does the combined object slide into the
region?
