Consider gliders that slide friction-free along a horizontal air track. Glider A has a mass of 1 kg, a speed of 1 m/s, and collides with glider B, which has a mass of 5 kg and is at rest. If they stick upon collision the combined-glider speed will be

If there were no gravity, a ball thrown upward at an angle would follow a straight-line path. Due to gravity, however, at the end of 1 s it is
