### Conservation of Momentum in One Dimension

#### II. Momentum of Objects in a Collision

**A.** Experiment 1 is conducted with two gliders, \( A_1 \) and \( B_1 \), on a level, frictionless track. The mass of glider \( B_1 \) is greater than that of glider \( A_1 \) (i.e., \( m_{B_1} > m_{A_1} \)).

In experiment 1, glider \( A_1 \) moves toward glider \( B_1 \), which is initially at rest. Magnets are attached to the gliders so that the gliders repel each other without touching. After the collision, glider \( A_1 \) has reversed direction as shown below.

**Diagram Description:**
- **Before Collision:**
  - Glider \( A_1 \) is moving toward the right with velocity \( \vec{v}_{A_{1i}} \).
  - Glider \( B_1 \) is at rest with velocity \( \vec{v}_{B_{1i}} = 0 \).

- **After Collision:**
  - Glider \( A_1 \) is moving toward the left with velocity \( \vec{v}_{A_{1f}} \).
  - Glider \( B_1 \) is moving toward the right with velocity \( \vec{v}_{B_{1f}} \).

**Activities:**

**1.** In the spaces below, draw vectors to represent the momentum of glider \( A_1 \), glider \( B_1 \), and system \( S_1 \) (the system of both gliders) both before and after the collision. Your vectors need only be qualitatively correct (e.g., any vectors that have the same magnitude should be the same length, and a vector that has a greater magnitude should be longer).

|                      | Momentum of glider \( A_1 \) | Momentum of glider \( B_1 \) | Momentum of system \( S_1 \)  |
|----------------------|------------------------------|------------------------------|------------------------------|
| Initial              |                              |                              |                              |
| Final                |                              |                              |                              |
