1. A steel ball of mass 0.5 kg is fastened to a cord 70 cm long and fixed at the far end, is released when the cord is horizontal. At the bottom of its path, the ball strikes a 2.5 kg steel block initially at rest on a horizontal surface. The collision is elastic. Find a) the speed of the ball and the speed of the block, just after the collision. b) If the block has a coefficient of kinetic friction with the horizontal surface of 0.30, how far does the block slide before coming to rest? Ignore the effect of the frictional force for the duration of the collision. [-2.49 m/s, 1.27 m/s; 0.27 m]
