Two gliders with mA = 0.50 kg, mB = 0.40 kg, collide elastically on a frictionless surface. Glider A with a spring bumper initially moves to the right with the speed of 4.0 m/s and glider B with a spring bumper initially moves to the left with the speed of 7.0 m/s. What is the final velocity of the glider A after collision?
