Precisely why I am asking for help, Thank you in advance for any assistance.

Yes. .67v is my answer. pi = m1v1 inelastically collides with identical mass, now momentum shows velocity cut in half 2mv/2. This double-mass collides elastically with another identical mass, that must have a higher velocity than the double mass AFTER elastistic collision. Therefore the double...

I am requesting assistance as to what the correct answer is. Thank you for your help

Apologies, yes it is a typo, should read 2mv/2. The final answer is .67v is what is given. Thank you!

Perhaps both guide and request assistance, eventually =)

Aloha!

Homework Statement This question was on a recent AP Physics 1 exam as a multiple choice; "Three air track gliders, shown to the right all have the same mass M. Gliders 2 and 3 are initially at rest. Glider 1 is moving to the right with speed v. Glider 1 collides with glider 2 and sticks to it...
