A block of mass m1 = 12.5 kg slides along a horizontal surface (with friction, μk = 0.29) a distance d = 2.3 m before striking a second block of mass m2 = 9.25 kg. The first block has an initial velocity of v = 6.25 m/s. Assuming that block one stops after it collides with block two... What is block two's velocity after impact in m/s? How far does block two travel, d2 in meters, before coming to rest after the collision? How much energy is lost in the collision? How much momentum is lost in the collision?
