Two blocks are free to slide along the frictionless wooden track shown below. The block of mass m1 = 5.10 kg is released from the position shown, at height h = 5.00 m above the flat part of the track. Protruding from its front end is the north pole of a strong magnet, which repels the north pole of an identical magnet embedded in the back end of the block of mass m2 = 9.30 kg, initially at rest. The two blocks never touch. Calculate the maximum height to which m1 rises after the elastic collision. (sorry I can't attach the image) ________________m
