Question

Two gliders are on a frictionless, level air track. Both gliders are free to move. Initially, glider A moves to the right and glider B is at rest. After the collision, glider A has reversed direction and moves to the left. The mass of glider A is one quarter of the mass of glider B. The system is defined as the two gliders.

True or false: Glider B would move faster if glider A were to come to a stop, giving glider B all its momentum.

A True

B False
