A body of mass is kept on a smooth slope with height which extends into a smooth horizontal plane. When the body is slightly displaced, it begins to slide down the slope and collides with a body of mass , which rests at the foot of the slope (see the figure below).
What is the common velocity of the bodies after an inelastic collision if their kinetic energy is ?
What is the velocity of the body with mass at the end of the slope (before the collision)?
What height does the body with mass slide from?
