A target glider, whose mass m2 is 360 g, is at rest on an air track, a distance

Question

A target glider, whose mass m2 is 360 g, is at rest on an air track, a distance d = 53 cm from the end of the track. A projectile glider, whose mass m1 is 550 g, approaches the target glider with velocity v1i = -75 cm/s and collides elastically with it (see the figure). The target glider rebounds elastically from a short spring at the end of the track and meets the projectile glider for a second time. How far from the end of the track does this second collision occur ( cm)? How long does the target glider take to reach the end of the track? How much more time elapses before the gliders collide again?
