I am currently working on this problem and I am stuck as to how to approach or solve it. The problem is that a block of mass 11000kg is sliding down a slope with a height of 1000m, angle of 40 degrees and the coefficient of friction between the block and the slope is 0.1. The block splits apart into two blocks (m1 = 10000kg, m2 = 1000kg) at a height of 422m. I am trying to determine their velocity directly after the blocks split, so that energy is conserved. Any insight on how to tackle this problem would be greatly appreciated and please let me know if any clarification is needed.
Thank you
