\text{5.0 kg}

block with a speed of

\text{8.0 m/s}

travels

\text{2.0 m}

along a horizontal surface where it makes a head-on, perfectly elastic collision with a

\text{15.0 kg}

block which is at rest. The coefficient of kinetic friction between both blocks and the surface is

0.35

. How far does the

\text{15.0 kg}

block travel before coming to rest?
(A)

\text{0.76 m}

(B)

\text{1.79 m}

(C)

\text{2.29 m}

(D)

\text{3.04 m}

(E)

\text{9.14 m}
