A Purple Block about (mA = 24 kg) glides along a rail, it starts at point 1 with a height H1 = 5.40 m). (Entire rail is frictionless) and before entering a loop the (radius R = 1.80 m). Three more points 2, 3, and 4 are all marked on the sides as well as on the top of these loops. The purple block then comes out of the loop while travelling at a speed of 12 m/s. Has a t-bone collision with the blue block which is mB = 8 kg with a speed of 6 m/s before the collision happens. After the accident, purple block's speed is 5.30 m/s and is still moving in the same direction it was before the collision. (see picture) A)What kind of collision is this?
