A 1.0-kg ball is attached to the end of a 2.5-m string to form a pendulum. This pendulum is released from rest with the string horizontal. At the lowest point in its swing when it is moving horizontally, the ball collides elastically with a 2.0-kg block initially at rest on a horizontal frictionless surface. What is the speed of the block just after the collision?

a. 2.3 m/s
b. 4.7 m/s
c. 3.5 m/s
d. 3.0 m/s
e. 7.0 m/s
