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 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)...

Find the final velocities of the blocks, assuming the collision is elastic. velocity of the 0.224 kg block = velocity of the 0.112 kg block...
