okay, for some reason my brain doesn't want to follow this. p1i = (.680)(9.07) = 6.17 kgm/s p2i = 0 because there is no velocity so I would I get 6.17 = V(m1 +m2) so v= 6.17/ (m1 +m2) ?

Homework Statement block 1 with mass of 680 g starts from rest at the top of a frictionless track at a height of H = 4.20 M above the ground. Block 1 collides with block 2 (m = 175 g) at ground level. The blocks stick together and barely complete one turn around a frictionless loop. find the...
