A block m starts at the bottom of a ramp of length L and angle 0 at rest. A block withmass 2m collides inelastically with the block m. The two blocks slide without frictionup the incline. Assuming a smooth transition at the bottom of the ramp, what is thefinal height of the center of mass of the two blocks?m2m(a) Does conservation of momentum hold during the collision? If so, expressconservation of momentum mathematically.(b) Does conservation of kinetic energy hold during the collision? If so, expressconservation of kinetic energy mathematically.(c) Solve for the final height of the blocks.

We will use conservation of momentum and conservation of energy,
