Answer:
[tex]v_{2}=3.5 m/s[/tex]
Explanation:
Using the conservation of energy we have:
[tex]\frac{1}{2}mv^{2}=mgh[/tex]
Let's solve it for v:
[tex]v=\sqrt{2gh}[/tex]
So the speed at the lowest point is [tex]v=7 m/s[/tex]
Now, using the conservation of momentum we have:
[tex]m_{1}v_{1}=m_{2}v_{2}[/tex]
[tex]v_{2}=\frac{1*7}{2}[/tex]
Therefore the speed of the block after the collision is [tex]v_{2}=3.5 m/s[/tex]
I hope it helps you!
