Question

Two blocks slide on a collision course across a frictionless surface, as in the figure. The resulting collision is inelastic. The first block has mass M = 1.00 kg and is initially sliding due north at a speed of V_i = 9.15 m/s.

The second block has mass m = 7.20 ✕ 10⁻² kg and is initially sliding at a speed of v_i = 13.5 m/s directed at an angle θ = 27.5° south of east. Immediately after the inelastic collision, the second block is observed sliding at v_f = 5.15 m/s in a direction of ϕ = 19.5° north of east.

Determine the components of the first block's velocity after the collision.

V_xf	=	m/s
V_yf	=	m/s
