Two blocks are free to slide along the frictionless wooden track shown below. The block of mass $m_1 = 4.92$ kg is released from the
position shown, at height $h = 5.00$ m above the flat part of the track. Protruding from its front end is the north pole of a strong
magnet, which repels the north pole of an identical magnet embedded in the back end of the block of mass $m_2 = 9.90$ kg, initially
at rest. The two blocks never touch. Calculate the maximum height to which $m_1$ rises after the elastic collision.
