Homework Statement
Consider a frictionless track. Imagine point A to B is one quarter of a circle; point B to C is a horizontal flat plane; point C to D is also one quarter of a circle.
The block m1 is released from A. It makes a head-on elastic collision at B with m2 (that is initially at rest) Calculate the maximum height to which m1 and m2 rise after collision.
m1 = 2kg
m2 = 10 kg
radius of quarter circles = 4.9 m
Homework Equations
p=mv
m1vf + m2vi = (m1 + m2)v
y=1/2 at^2
