An object of mass m1 = 0.435 kg starts from rest at point and slides down an incline surface that makes an angle θ = 36.0°
with the horizontal as shown. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the object and the incline surface is 0.395. After sliding down a distance d = 5.60 m, it makes a perfectly inelastic collision with an object of mass m2 = 0.650 kg at point .
a) Find the speed of m1 at point just before the collision.
(b) Find the energy loss during the collision. Enter the magnitude.
(c) After the collision, the objects travel on a horizontal surface with a kinetic coefficient of 0.405. How long does it take until the objects come to rest at point ?.
