A Purple Block about (mA = 24 kg) glides along a rail, it starts at point 1 with a height H1 = 5.40 m). (Entire rail is frictionless) and before entering a loop the (radius R = 1.80 m). Three more points 2, 3, and 4 are all marked on the sides as well as on the top of these loops.  The purple block then comes out of the loop while travelling at a speed of 12 m/s. Has a t-bone collision with the blue block which is mB = 8 kg with a speed of 6 m/s before the collision happens.  After the accident, purple block's speed is 5.30 m/s and is still moving in the same direction it was before the collision.

A Purple Block about (mA = 24 kg) glides along a rail, it starts at point 1 with a height H1 = 5.40 m). (Entire rail is frictionless) and before entering a loop the (radius R = 1.80 m). Three more points 2, 3, and 4 are all marked on the sides as well as on the top of these loops. 
The purple block then comes out of the loop while travelling at a speed of 12 m/s. Has a t-bone collision with the blue block which is mB = 8 kg with a speed of 6 m/s before the collision happens. 
After the accident, purple block's speed is 5.30 m/s and is still moving in the same direction it was before the collision. (see picture) 

A)What kind of collision is this?

For the purple block: (parts a-b)

a.) speed of block have at point 1?
v1 = _____  m/s

b.) At point 2, speed of the block:

v2 = _____ m/s

the force acting on the block not to closely to the circle:
______ N,  with the motion, against the motion, it is zero

force acting on the block, radial to the circle:
______ N,  toward the center of the loop, away from the center of the loop, it is zero

(total) acceleration of the block:
A = ______ m/s2, ______o to the block's velocity

c.) speed of blue block right after the collision?
_______m/s
