Problem
A 0.25 kg glider slides at 1.20 m/s on a nearly frictionless air track and collides elastically with a second glider that is initially at rest. After the collision, the first glider moves backward at 0.40 m/s, and the second glider moves forward at 0.80 m/s. Calculate the mass of the second glider.
