A 0.20 kg object is gliding to the right on a frictionless, horizontal air track with a speed of 2.00 m/s. It has a head-on collision with a 0.40 kg object that is gliding to the left with a speed of 0.75 m/s. Find the final velocity (magnitude and direction) of each glider if the collision is elastic. 7.
