Question: Block 1, with mass m1 and speed 4.0 m/s, slides along an x axis on a frictionless floor and then undergoes a one-dimensional elastic collision

Block 1, with mass m1 and speed 4.0 m/s, slides along an x axis on a frictionless floor and then undergoes a one-dimensional elastic collision with stationary block 2, with mass m2 = 0.40m1. The two blocks then slide into a region where the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.50; there they stop. How far into that region do
(a) Block 1 and
(b) Block 2 slide?
