Two blocks slide on a collision course across a frictionless surface, as in the figure. The resulting collision is inelastic. The first block has mass M = 1.20 kg and is initially sliding due north at a speed of Vi = 8.95 m/s. The second block has mass m = 7.40 ✕ 10−2 kg and is initially sliding at a speed of vi = 13.5 m/s directed at an angle θ = 27.5° south of east. Immediately after the inelastic collision, the second block is observed sliding at vf = 5.15 m/s in a direction of ϕ = 19.5° north of east.

Determine the components of the first block's velocity after the collision.

Two blocks are shown before and after they collide. Block 1 is labeled
M and Block 2 is labeled m. The x-axis points to the right and the y-
axis points up. North points upward.
• Before the collision, Block 1 moves directly upward with velocity
V; and Block 2 moves down and to the right and an angle of 0
below the x-axis, with velocity v..
• After the collision, Block 2 moves up and to the right at an angle
p above the x-axis, with velocity ve Block 1 moves up and to
the right with velocity Ve at an angle above the x-axis that is
unlabeled but is larger than o.
