Two gliders collide on an air track moving in from opposite directions, and they bounce back. The masses of the gliders are 0.20 kg and 0.30 kg. The magnitudes of their initial velocities are 0.50 m/s and 0.40 m/s, respectively. After the collision, the magnitudes of their velocities are 0.40 m/s and 0.20 m/s, respectively. Assume the first glider is initially heading in the positive direction. The total momentum of the gliders before collision is closest to:

so initial momentum is 0.22kgm/s

Explanation:

m1=0.20kg

m2=0.30kg

initial velocity of m1=u1=0.50m/s

initial velocity of m2=u2=0.40m/s

total momentum of the system before collision

Pi=m1u1+m2u2

Pi=0.20kg×0.50m/s+0.30kg×0.40m/s

Pi=0.1kgm/s+0.12kgm/s

Pi=0.22kgm/s

the answer is ampere

the ampere is used to measure electricity. an ampere is a unit of electric current equal. a unit of measure for the flow of current in a circuit. one ampere is the amount of current flow provided when one volt of electrical pressure is applied against one ohm of resistance.
