Recap - Air Track
Part of the Mechanics section of Coddy's Physics journey. Lesson 67 of 94.
Challenge
On a level air track, glider A (0.3 kg) starts at rest, and a string pulls it to the right with a net force of 0.6 N for 0.5 s. It then coasts into glider B (0.2 kg), which slides toward it at 0.5 m/s, and they stick together. Taking right as positive, find the velocity v_f of the joined gliders.
