Block 1 with m1 = 0.127 kg and block 2 with m2 = 0.163 kg are supported on a horizontal frictionless table whose surface is 1.75 m above a horizontal floor as shown in the Figure. Block 1 has an initial speed of v = 5.50 m/s toward block 2 which is initially at rest.

A) (7 pts) Block 1 collides with block 2 and coalesces (forms one object). Calculate the velocity of the coalesced object.

B) (10 pts) The combined object formed after the collision in Part A slides off the table with the horizontal velocity determined in Part A. Find the time of flight of the combined object after it leaves the table top and horizontal distance the combined object travels (d), as measured from the edge of the elevated surface, where it hits the floor. Assume the combined blocks have no thickness and behave like a particle. Only if you cannot calculate the horizontal velocity in Part A, use the value 3.50 m/s for partial credit. Otherwise you must use the value you calculated in Part A
