Two blocks move along a linear path on a nearly frictionless air track. One block, of mass 0.116 kg, initially moves to the right at a speed of 5.20 m/s, while the second block, of mass 0.232 kg, is initially to the left of the first block and moving to the right at 7.30 m/s. Find the final velocities of the blocks, assuming the collision is elastic.
Velocity of the .116 kg block to the right:
Velocity fo the .232 kg block to the right:
let
m1 = 0.232 kg
and u1 = 7.3 m/s
m2 = 0.116 kg
and u2 = 5.2 m/s
final velocitis are
Velocity fo the .232 kg block to the right is v1
Velocity of the .116 kg block to the right is v2
v1 =(m1+m2)*u1/(m1+m2) + 2*m2*u2/(m1+m2)
v1 = (0.116-0.232)*7.3/(0.116+0.232) + (2*0.116*5.2)/(0.116+0.232)
v1 = -2.43 + 3.46 = 1.03 m/s
v2 = 2*m1*u1/(m1+m2) + (m2-m1)*u2/(m1+m2)
v2 = ((2*0.232*7.3)/(0.232+0.116)) + ((0.116-0.232)*5.2/(0.116+0.232)) = 8 m/s

Two blocks are free to slide along the frictionless wooden track shown below. The block of mass m_1 = 4.92 kg is released from the position shown, at height h = 5.00 m above the flat part of the track. Protruding from its front end is the north pole of a strong magnet, which repels the north pole of an identical magnet embedded in the back end of the block of mass m_z = 9.40 kg initially at rest.
