An air track glider with mass 0.59 kg moves with velocity 0.8 m/s to the right. At the same time, another glider with mass 0.31 kg from the other end of the air track moves with a velocity of -0.6 m/s (negative indicates to the left). Immediately after the two collide and couple together with Velcro tape, how fast are the gliders? Include negative sign if your answer is negative, to indicate they are moving to the left.

By using bumpers on the two carts, the two carts will not stick together. In this part of the experiment, you will need to separately measure the velocities of the two carts after the collisions. You will use a photogate to measure the velocity of the second cart which is again initially at rest. motion detector cart 1 bumpers track cart 2 mass of cart 1: 500.1 g mass of cart 2: 510 g measured velocity of cart 1 before collision: 0.353 m/s measured total kinetic energy before the collision: measured total kinetic energy after the collision: measured velocity of cart 1 after the collision: -0.018 m/s measured velocity of cart 2 after the collision (from photogate): 0.226 m/s. expected velocity of cart 2 after the collision, based on conservation of momentum: Bof (show calculation here) 0.329 m/s percent difference between measured and expected final velocities of cart 2: photogate
A moving cart of mass 3.5 kg crashes into a stationary cart of mass 10.5 kg as shown. The carts are prevented from touching one another during the collision by a pair of neodymium magnets mounted on the ends of the carts and positioned for repulsion. After separating, the more massive cart moves to the right at 1.4 m/s. What are the final speed and direction of motion of the less massive cart? strong magnets Vfi VGi = 0 3.5 kg 10.5 kg Frictionless surface
