A 0.300kg glider is moving to the right on a frictionless. horizontal air track

Question

A 0.300kg glider is moving to the right on a frictionless. horizontal air track with a speed of 0.900m/s when it makes a head-on collision with a stationary 0.150kg glider. Part A Find the magnitude of the final velocity of first glider if the collision is elastic. v = 0.300 m/s Part B Find the direction of the final velocity of first glider if the collision is elastic. to the right to the left Part C Find the magnitude of the final velocity of second glider if the collision is elastic. V= 1.20 m/s Part D Find the direction of the final velocity of second glider if the collision is elastic. to the right to the left

Explanation / Answer

PART E:

K = 0.5 * mv2

0.5 * 0.300 kg * (0.900)2 = 0.1215 kg * (m/s)2 (joules)

PART F:

K = 0.5 * mv2

0.5 * 0.150 kg * (1.20 m/s)2= 0.108 joules
