A Block of Mass M = 4 $v_ { \mathrm { i } } = 9.2 \mathrm {~m} / \mathrm { s } ,$

question 83

Multiple Choice

A block of mass m = 4.4 kg, moving on frictionless surface with a speed $v_ { \mathrm { i } } = 9.2 \mathrm {~m} / \mathrm { s } ,$ makes a sudden perfectly elastic collision with a second block of mass M, as shown in the figure. The second block is originally at rest. Just after the collision, the 4.4-kg block recoils with a speed of $v_ { \mathrm { f } } = 2.5 \mathrm {~m} / \mathrm { s } .$ What is the mass M of the second block?

• A)7.7 kg
• B)0 kg
• C)(0) kg.
• D)0 kg.
• E)0 kg..
