Block A of mass m = 1.05 kg moving on a horizontal plane with velocity of vi = 1.71 m/s collides with Block B of the same mass at rest before the collision. After the collision, Block A stops. What is the velocity of Block B vf after collision? Assume there is no friction between the blocks and the horizontal plane. Keep three significant figures for the answer.
