A bullet glider and a target glider both have a mass of 0.200 kg. The bullet glider is moving 0.450 m/s when it collides with the stationary target glider. Explain what happens next.

the two gliders collide, the mobile glider will transfer a bit of time to the fixed glider, which is why it comes out with a speed that is smaller than that of the bullet glider.

Explanation:

When the two gliders collide, the mobile glider will transfer a bit of time to the fixed glider, which is why it comes out with a speed that is smaller than that of the bullet glider.

Changes can occur that the gliders unite and move with a cosecant speed less than the initial one.

The whole process must be analyzed using conservation of the moment.
