← A block of mass 4 kg is released from rest at the top of a smooth track shaped like a quarter of a circle of radius 1.8 m. At the bottom, the track joins a smooth horizontal floor, where a block of mass 2 kg is at rest. The two blocks collide head-on, and the collision is perfectly elastic. Taking g = 10 m/s², the speed of the 2 kg block after the collision, in m/s, is ____.
