2006B2B 1 5M A small block of mass M is released from rest at the top of the curved frictionless ramp shown above The block slides down the ramp and is moving with a speed 3 5v when it collides with a larger block of mass 1 5M at rest at the bottom of the incline The larger block moves to the right at a speed 2 v immediately after the collision Express your answers to the following questions in terms of the given quantities and fundamental constants a Determine the height of the ramp from which the small block was released b Determine the speed of the small block after the collision c The larger block slides a distance D before coming to rest Determine the value of the coefficient of kinetic friction u between the larger block and the surface on which it ides d Indicate whether the collision between the two blocks is elastic or inelastic Justify your answer
