Two gliders collide on a frictionless air track that is aligned along the x axis. Glider A has an initial velocity v0 and glider B is initially at rest. After they collide, A has a velocity 12v0 and B has a velocity 92v0. Find the ratio of the gliders' masses, mAmB.

    Applying conservation of momentum

    mA v0 + 0 = mA x 12v0 + mB x 92v0

    11 mA = - 92mB.

    mA / mB = 92 / 11

    mA : mB = 92 : 11.
