A 0.150-kg glider is moving to the right on a frictionless, horizontal air track with a speed of 0.80 m/s. It has a head-on collision with a 0.300-kg glider that is moving to the left with a speed of 2.20 m/s. Find the final velocity (magnitude and direction) of each glider if the collision is elastic.

QUESTION:
A 0.150-kg glider is moving to the right on a frictionless, horizontal air track with a speed of 0.80 m/s. It has a head-on collision with a 0.300-kg glider that is moving to the left with a speed of 2.20 m/s. Find the final velocity (magnitude and direction) of each glider if the collision is elastic.
ANSWER:Solution 46E
Step 1:
Mass of glider moving right m1 = 0.150 Kg
Mass of glider moving left m2 = 0.300 Kg
Initial Velocity of glider moving right u1 = 0.80 m/s (+x direction)
Initial Velocity of glider moving left u2 = - 2.2 m/s (-x direction)
