A cart of mass m1 = 11 kg slides down a frictionless ramp and ismade to collide with a second cart of mass m2 = 24 kg which thenheads into a vertical loop of radius 0.25 m (a) Determine theheight h at which cart #1 would need to start from to make surethat cart #2 completes the loop without leaving the track. Assumean elastic collision. (b) Find the height needed if instead themore massive cart is allowed to slide down the ramp into thesmaller cart.
