For this weeks physics lab, the experimental setup
Chapter , Problem 38(choose chapter or problem)
For this weeks physics lab, the experimental setup consists of two gliders on a horizontal frictionless air track (see Figure 8-45). Each glider supports a strong magnet centered on top of it, and the magnets are oriented so they attract each other. The mass of glider 1 and its magnet is and the mass of glider 2 and its magnet is You and your lab partners are instructed to take the origin to be at the left end of the track and to center glider 1 at and glider 2 at Glider 1 is long, and glider 2 is long, and each glider has its center of mass at its geometric center. When the two gliders are released from rest, they will move toward each other and stick. (a) Predict the position of the center of each glider when they first touch. (b) Predict the velocity that the two gliders will continue to move with after they stick. Explain the reasoning behind this prediction for your lab partners.
