In the figure above, block 1 of mass m 1 slides from rest along a frictionless ramp from height h and then collides with stationary block 2 , which has mass m 2 = 3 m 1 . After the collision, block 2 slides into a region where the coefficient of kinetic friction is μ k and comes to a stop in distance d within that region.
NOTE: Express your answer in terms of the variables given, and g . (a) What is the value of distance d if the collision is elastic?
d =
(b) What is the value of distance d if the collision is completely inelastic?
d =
