What is the blocks speed after the collision

Reference no: EM13334907

A pendulum, consisting of a ball of mass m on a light string of length 1.00 m, is swung back to a 45° angle and released from rest. The ball swings down and, at its lowest point, collides with a block of mass 2m that is on a frictionless horizontal surface. After the collision, the block slides 1.00 m across the frictionless surface and an additional 0.290 m, before coming to rest, across a horizontal surface where the coefficient of friction between the block and the surface is 0.120. Useg = 9.80 m/s2.

(a) What is the block's speed after the collision?

(m/s)

(b) What is the velocity of the ball immediately after the collision? Use a plus sign if the velocity is in the same direction as the velocity of the ball just before the collision, and a negative sign if the velocity is in the opposite direction as the velocity of the ball just before the collision.

(m/s)
