Question
Two gliders collide on a frictionless air track that is aligned along the x axis. Glider A has an initial velocity v0 and glider B is initially at rest. After they collide, A has a velocity 12v0 and B has a velocity 92v0. Find the ratio of the gliders’ masses, mAmB.

Answer:
Explanation:
Applying conservation of momentum
mA v0 + 0 = mA x 12v0 + mB x 92v0
11 mA = – 92mB .
mA / mB = 92 / 11
mA : mB = 92 : 11.
