Two gliders, A and B undergo an elastic collision along a horizontal air track. (a) Show that the velocities of the gliders follow the relationship: , where the subscripts 1 and 2 denote the speeds before and after the collision, respectively, and the subscripts A and B refer to each glider. (b) If glider B is initially at rest and has a mass of 0.20 kg, and glider A moves at 3.0 m/s before the collision at -0.50 m/s after the collision, what is the mass of glider A and the final velocity of glider B?

Two particles, ?1 and ?2, undergo a glancing elastic collision. Initially mass ?1 moves along the negative ?-direction and ?2 along the positive ?-direction, both with speed ?? . After the collision ?1 moves along the negative ?-direction. Given that ?2 = 8 ?1, find the magnitudes of the velocities of both particles in terms of ?? , and the direction of mass ?2.

Two gliders collide head-on. In this case the bumpers work very well and the collision is elastic. Initially the heavy glider has a speed of 2.5 m/s and the light glider a speed of 1.8 m/s. The heavy glider’s mass is 0.300 kg and the light glider’s mass is 0.200 kg. You may treat the light glider as going in the +x direction initially and the heavy glider going in the –x direction. What is the velocity of the light...

In a lab experiment, two identical gliders on an air track are held together by a piece of string, compressing a spring between the gliders. While they are moving to the right at a common speed of 0.500 m/s, one student holds a match under the string and burns it, letting the spring force the gliders apart. One glider is then observed to be moving to the right at 1.300 m/s. (the string and spring both have negligible mass). a)...

Two particles, of mass m and mass nm, undergo a head-on, fully elastic collision. (Here n is just a unitless number.) Before colliding the particles approach one another with equal speed v. Snapshots of the particles before, during, and after the collision are shown above. After the collision the first particle moves away with speed 2.95v in the exact opposite direction, and the velocity of the second particle is unknown. What is the value of n? Before Collision (m)-><-(nm) Collision...

An air-track glider of mass 0.100 kg is attached to the end of a horizontal air track by a spring with force constant 20.0 N/m. Initially the spring is unstreched and the glider is moving at 1.50 m/s to the right. With the air track turned off, the coefficient of kinetic friction is ?k=0.47. It can be shown that with the air track turned off, the glider travels 8.6 cm before it stops instantaneously. Part A) How large would the...
