Question

In the figure, block 1 of mass m₁ slides from rest along a frictionless ramp from height h and then collides with stationary block 2, which has mass m₂ = 3m₁. After the collision, block 2 slides into a region where the coefficient of kinetic friction is μ_k and comes to a stop in distance d within that region. What is the value of distance d if the collision is (a) elastic and (b) completely inelastic? Express your answer in terms of the variables given and g.
