Assignment:
A small block of mass m1 = 0.480 kg is released from rest at the top of a curved-shaped frictionless wedge of mass m2 = 3.00 kg, which sits on a frictionless horizontal surface as in Figure. When the block leaves the wedge, its velocity is measured to be v1 = 3.60 m/s to the right, as shown in Figure.
(a) What is the velocity of the wedge after the block reaches the horizontal surface?
(b) What is the height h of the wedge?
