Light gates 1 and 2 are connected to a data-logger to determine the speed of the gliders.
Glider A has a mass of 0.75kg and glider B has a mass of 1.25kg.
Two experiments are carried out.
Experiment 1
• Glider B is initially at rest between light gates 1 and 2.
• Glider A passes light gate 1 at a speed of 0.200ms−1.
• Glider A collides with glider B.
• Glider A rebounds and passes light gate 1 at a speed of 0.050ms−1 and glider B
passes light gate 2 at a speed of 0.150ms−1.
Experiment 2
• Glider B is initially at rest between light gates 1 and 2.
• Glider A passes light gate 1 at a speed of 0.200ms−1.
• Glider A collides with glider B.
• Glider A sticks to glider B.
• Both gliders pass light gate 2 at a speed of 0.075ms−1.
