Timer Notes Evaluate Feedback Print Info Two identical gliders on an air track are held together by a piece of string, compressing a spring between the gliders. While they are moving to the right at a common speed of 0.336 m/s, someone holds a match under the string and burns it, letting the spring force the gliders apart. One glider is then observed to be moving to the right at 1.41 m/s. What velocity does the other glider have? Let +x-direction be to the right. Submit Answer Tries 0/7 Please choose whether the following statements are true or false. The final kinetic energy is equal to the initial kinetic energy The final kinetic energy is smaller than the initial kinetic energy The extra kinetic energy comes from the elastic potential energy stored in the spring The final kinetic energy is greater than the initial kinetic energy Submit Answer | Tries 0/7 This discussion is closed.
