Two masses are placed on an airtrack and given initial


Two masses are placed on an airtrack and given initial velocities towards each other. Mass one has a mass of 280 grams and is initially traveling at velocity 1.5 m/s in the x direction. Mass two has a mass of 510 grams and is initially traveling at velocity -2.5 m/s in the x direction. The two masses collide inelastically.

A/ Calculate the final velocity of the two masses.

B/ Calculate the impulse acting on mass one during the collision.

C/ Calculate the change in kinetic energy for the system during the collision.
