Textbook Question
Chapter 3.3, Problem 1dT
A student compares the final speeds of gliders M and N.
In experiment 2, glider A transfers all of its momentum to glider N, whereas in experiment 1, glider A still has some momentum left so glider M does not get as much. Therefore, glider N has a greater final speed than glider M.
Do you agree or disagree with (his statement? Explain.
