Question
**Problem 10:**

A block of mass \( m_1 = 19.5 \, \text{kg} \) slides along a horizontal surface (with friction, \( \mu_k = 0.31 \)) a distance \( d = 2.25 \, \text{m} \) before striking a second block of mass \( m_2 = 8.75 \, \text{kg} \). The first block has an initial velocity of \( v = 7.75 \, \text{m/s} \).

**Diagram Explanation:**

The diagram displays two blocks, \( m_1 \) and \( m_2 \), on a horizontal surface. Block \( m_1 \) is moving towards block \( m_2 \) with an initial velocity indicated by a red arrow pointing to the right. The distance \( d \) between the starting position of block \( m_1 \) and block \( m_2 \) is marked.

**Questions:**

**Part (a):** Assuming that block one stops after it collides with block two, what is block two's velocity after impact in m/s?

- \( v_2 = \) [Input Box]

**Tools:**

- Trigonometric function buttons: (sin, cos, tan, etc.)
- Numerical keypad
- Options to choose between Degrees or Radians

**Hints:**

- 3% deduction per hint. Five hints remaining.

**Part (b):** How far does block two travel, \( d_2 \), in meters, before coming to rest after the collision?

**Feedback:**
