A small block of mass M is released from rest at the top of the curved friction less ramp shown. The block slides down the ramp and is moving with a speed 3.5vo 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 vo immediately after the collision. Express your answers to the following questions in terms of the given quantities and fundamental constants.

 

(a) Determine the height h 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 µ between the larger block and the surface on which it slides. 

(d) Indicate whether the collision between the two blocks is elastic or inelastic. Justify your answer
