A-Level PhysicsYear 2020Q10
6 10 Two gliders, X and Y, are placed on an air track. The gliders are pushed towards each other as shown. 2.0 m s−1 1.0 m s−1 mass of X = 0.5 kg mass of Y = 1.0 kg X Y The gliders collide and continue to move after the collision. Which row of the table could show the velocities of X and Y, in m s−1, after the collision? X Y A − 1.0 0.5 B − 1.0 − 0.5 C − 2.0 − 1.0 D − 2.0 2.0 (Total for Question 10 = 1 mark)
