QUESTION 4

  1. A block of mass 1.99 kg is placed on a frictionless floor and initially pushed northward, whereupon it begins sliding with a constant speed of 5.41 m/s. It eventually collides with a second, stationary block, of mass 4.21 kg, head-on, and rebounds back to the south. The collision is 100% elastic. What will be the speeds of the 1.99-kg and 4.21-kg blocks, respectively, after this collision?
      A
    2.70 m/s and 2.71 m/s
      B
