A 0.500-kg block is released from rest at the top of a frictionless
track 2.50 m above the top of a table. It then collides
elastically with a 1.00-kg object that is initially at rest
on the table, as shown in Figure P6.57. (a) Determine the
velocities of the two objects just after the collision. (b) How
high up the track does the 0.500-kg object travel back after
the collision? (c) How far away from the bottom of the
table does the 1.00-kg object land, given that the table is
2.00 m high? (d) How far away from the bottom of the
table does the 0.500-kg object eventually land?
