Box 1 (with mass m = 7.1 kg) is on a frictionless table moving with a velocity Vo = 7.1 m/s. It collides with an identical box (let's call it box 2). The boxes stick together and launch horizontally off the table. What is the kinetic energy of the boxes when they land on the ground a distance H = 1.4 m below the table? H Vo 2
