Two blocks of masses m₁ = 2.00 kg and m₂ = 4.80 kg are released from rest at a height of h = 4.80 m on a frictionless track as shown in the figure below. When they meet on the level portion of the track, they undergo a head-on, elastic collision. Determine the maximum heights to which m₁ and m₂ rise on the curved portion of the track after the collision. hm1= hm2 m
