Before the collision, the center of mass of the two block system had a speed of 5 m/s. Afterward, what are the speeds of (a) the center of mass and (b) particle 2? 

 A person drags a box across a floor by applying a horizontal force of 9 N. The kinetic fric-tional force acting on the box has magnitude 5 N. As the box is dragged through 0.70 m along the way,what are (a) the work done by the person’s applied force and (b) the increase in thermal energy of the
box and floor? c) What exactly makes up the system in this problem?
