A package of mass 25.97 kilogram is released from rest at a warehouse loading dock and slides down a 2.02 meter high frictionless chute to awaiting truck. Unfortunately, the truck driver went on a break without having removed the previous package, of mass 41.54 kilogram, from the bottom of the chute.
Assume the packages stick together. Find what is their common speed after the collision?
Imagine the collision between the packages is elastic. Find to what height does the package of mass 25.97 kilogram rebound?
