In Figure, block 1 of mass m1=1.5kg slides from rest along a frictionless ramp from height h =2.50 m and then collides with stationary block 2, which has mass m2 =2.00m1. After the collision, block 1 and block 2 slides combine together a region where the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.500 and comes to a stop in distance d within that region. a- Find the velocity of the blocks after the collision.  b- Calculate the distance d.
