Find the speed of the first glider

Reference no: EM13514612

Two air-track gliders of equal mass are initially moving in the same direction along a straight line. The rearmost glider has an initial speed of 3.0 m/s and the forward glider has a speed of 1.8 m/s. The collision is elastic.

What is the speed of the first glider (rearmost) after the collision?
