Question

Physics

Two air track gliders of mass 400.0 g and 300.0 g are movingtowards each other in opposite directions with speeds of 60.0 cm/sand 100.0 cm/s, respectively. Take the direction of the moremassive glider as positive. Use units of \"g\" and \"cm/s\" in yourcalculations.

  1. Determine the velocity of each glider after the collision ifthe collision is elastic. (Use units of \"g\" and \"cm/s\" for thisquestion.)
  2. The most \"inelastic\" collision would occur if the two glidersstuck together on impact. If this was the case, find the velocityof the pair after the collision, and the kinetic energy lost as aresult of the collision. (Determine the energies in standard unitsof \"J.\")
