Suppose you have a cart on a track with one end of the track is up against the wall. If a cart collides with the end of the track and rebounds, it will have nearly the same momentum it had before it collided, but in the opposite direction. Is momentum conserved in such a collision? Are there external forces? Explain.

    A 1.0-kg standard cart collides on a low-friction track with cart A. The standard cart has an initial x component of velocity of +0.40 m/s, and cart A is initially at rest. After the collision the x component of velocity of the standard cart is +0.20 m/s and the x component of velocity of cart A is +0.65 m/s . After the collision, cart A continues to the end of the track and rebounds with its speed unchanged. Before the...

    A cart on a table (cart A) collides with another cart that is initially at rest (cart B). After the collision, both carts are moving. The diagrams below represent snapshots of the carts before and after the collision. The arrows on the diagrams indicate the velocity vectors of the carts at the instants shown. (The vectors are drawn to scale.) Consider the time interval between the two instants shown. During this time interval, is the magnitude of the average acceleration...

    Two carts are rolling to the right along the same level track. Cart 1, with a mass m1 = 3.4 kg, is in the rear, rolling at a speed of 6.2 m/s and catching up to cart 2, which is rolling at a speed of 3.2 m/s. Choose signs carefully; only speeds are given. a) Cart 1 overtakes and collides with cart 2, sticking to it (both have Velcro pads). Afterward, they both continue rolling right, now at a speed...

    You are experimenting with a cart on a track that can launch a ball straight up into the air. (1) Suppose the cart is moving at 2.0 m/s along the horizontal track and the ball is launched to a height of 1 m above the level of the cart. How far away will the cart catch the ball? (2) Now you tilt the track to 10° and let the cart go from rest at the moment the ball is launched....
