The 9 kg block is then released and acceler- ates to the right, toward the 5 kg block. The surface is rough and the coefficient of friction between each block and the surface is 0.4. The two blocks collide, stick together, and move to the right. Remember that the spring is not attached to the 9 kg block. Find the speed of the 9 kg block just before it collides with the 5 kg block. Answer in units of m/s.
