Package 1, with inertia 2kg, is released from rest at a warehouse loading dock and slides down a 3.0-m high, frictionless ramp to a waiting truck. Unfortunately, the truck driver went on a break without having removed the previous package, Package 2, with inertia 4kg, at the bottom of the ramp. Suppose the packages stick together. What is their common speed after the collision? Note: this is a two-stage scenario. Make sure you have a relevant diagram for each stage. Use equations provided on equation sheet only.
