A 8-g block slides with a velocity of 18 cm/s on a smooth level surface and makes a head-on collision with a 26 g block moving in the opposite direction with a velocity of 9 cm/s. If the collision is perfectly elastic, what is the velocity of the 26-g block after the collision?   Round your answer to 2 decimal places.
