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)
