Question:

Two blocks are free to slide along the frictionless wooden track ABC shown in Figure P9.20. The block of mass m1 5.00 kg is released from A. Protruding from its front end is the north pole of a strong magnet, repelling the north pole of an identical magnet embedded in the back end of the block of mass m2 = 10.0 kg, initially at rest. The two blocks never touch. Calculate the maximum height to which m1 rises after the elastic collision.
