Block \(m\) moving toward stationary block \(2m\) on a frictionless surface.
Block \(m\) moving toward stationary block \(2m\) on a frictionless surface.
A block of mass \(m\) slides with a constant speed \(v_0\) across a horizontal, frictionless surface toward a stationary block of mass \(2m\). The two blocks collide, stick together, and continue moving along the surface. For the system consisting of only the two blocks during the collision, which of the following correctly categorizes whether the total linear momentum and total mechanical energy of the system are conserved?
