Block 1 of mass m1 slides along africtionless floor and into a one-dimensional elastic collisionwith stationary block 2 of mass m2 =5m1. Prior to the collision, the center of massof the two-block system had a speed of 8.40 m/s.

a) what is the speed of the center of mass after the collision?


b)What is the speed if the block 2 after the collisions?
