A 0.150-kg glider A is moving to the right on a horizontal, frictionless air track with a speed of 0.80 mis. It makes a head-on collision with a 0.300-kg glider B which is moving to the left with a speed of 2.20 mis. Assume the collision is elastic. What is the magnitude of the final velocity (in mis) of glider A? A 0.48 B. 1.48 C. 2.48 D. 3.48
