Block released on an incline of height \(h\) before colliding with a resting block on a smooth track.
Block released on an incline of height \(h\) before colliding with a resting block on a smooth track.
A block of mass \(m\) is released from rest at the top of a rough incline of height \(h\) and angle \(\theta_1 = 30^\circ\) above the horizontal. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the incline is \(\mu_k\). After reaching the bottom of the incline, the block transitions smoothly onto a frictionless horizontal surface and collides with and sticks to an identical block of mass \(m\) initially at rest.

The experiment is repeated in Trial 2 under identical conditions, except the incline angle is increased to \(\theta_2 = 60^\circ\) while maintaining the same release height \(h\) and friction coefficient \(\mu_k\).

Which of the following correctly compares the physical quantities in Trial 2 to those in Trial 1?
