A glider with a mass of 2 kg is moving rightward at 1 m/s. A second glider, with a mass of 3 kg, is also moving rightward, at 5

m/s. After the two gliders collide, the first glider is moving rightward at 2 m/s. What is the velocity of the second glider after the collision

The velocity of the second glider after the collision is 4.33 m/s rightward.

<h3>Velocity of the second glider after the collision</h3>

Apply the principle of conservation of linear momentum;

m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = m₁v₁ + m₂v₂

where;

  • m₁ is mass of first glider
  • m₂ is mass of second glider
  • u₁ is initial velocity of first glider
  • u₂ is initial velocity of second glider
  • v is the final velocity of the gliders

(2)(1) + (3)(5) = (2)(2) + 3v₂

17 = 4 + 3v₂

3v₂ = 17 - 4

3v₂ = 13

v₂ = 13/3

v₂ = 4.33 m/s

Thus, the velocity of the second glider after the collision is 4.33 m/s rightward.

In which phase transition do molecules directly move from state to state involving a vibration of particles in a fixed position
siniylev [52]
I believe the correct answer from the choices listed above is the second option It is during sublimation that molecules directly move from state to state involving a vibration of particles in a fixed position to a state involving random movement of high speed particles. It <span> is the transition of a substance directly from the solid to the gas phase without passing through the intermediate liquid phase. </span>
