An object of mass m starting from rest at point A, as shown in the figure below, is pushed by a horizontal applied force of magnitude F on a horizontal tabletop, which is a distance h above the floor. The table top has a coefficient of friction ÎĽk. When the object reaches the end of the table (point B), it collides with an identical object. The two objects stick together and are launched horizontally off the table, following the trajectory shown in the figure below, and strike the floor at point D. Air resistance is negligible in this entire problem.
Draw a kinematics vector diagram that includes all pertinent vector quantities of the combined objects motion from B to C.
Draw an energy diagram that includes all pertinent energy-related quantities for the object's motion from C to D using the LOR provided in the figure above.
