A 195 g glider is moving at 5.3 m/s on a frictionless air track. It then collides with a stationary 295 g glider. What would be the velocity after the collision of the gliders if the collision was inelastic?

Answer:For a perfectly elastic collision, the final velocities of the carts will each be 1/2 the velocity of the initial velocity of the moving cart. For a perfectly inelastic collision, the final velocity of the cart system will be 1/2 the initial velocity of the moving cart.
