Two carts on an air track are moving toward each other. One has mass 2.0 kg and velocity -0.90 m/s, and the other has mass 3.0 kg but unknown speed. They collide in a totally inelastic collision, and move with velocity +1.2 m/s after the collision. What was the initial speed of the second cart (in m/s)?

Two carts mounted on an air track are moving toward one another. Cart 1 has a speed of 1.2 m/s and a mass of 0.45 kg. Cart 2 has a mass of 0.62 kg. (a) If the total momentum of the system is to be zero, what is the initial speed of Cart 2 in meters per second? m/s (b) Does it follow that the kinetic energy of the system is also zero since the momentum of the system is...
Two air track carts move along an air track towards each other. Cart A has a mass of 450 g and moves toward the right with a speed of 0.850 m/s. Cart B has a mass of 270 g and moves toward the left with a speed of 1.12 m/s. What is the total momentum of the two-cart system? Give your answer in kg m/s, to three significant firgures. Your Answer: Answer units
Two carts are sitting on air track (frictionless surface). Assume cart A has mass of .50 kg, cart B has mass of 1.0 kg. You push cart A and give it an initial speed of 5.0 m/s toward B which was originally at rest. The two carts stick together and move together. Right after collision, the air is turned off so the two carts slide to a stop due to kinetic friction. Assume the coefficient of kinetic friction is .20....
Two carts mounted on an air track are moving toward one another. Cart 1 has a speed of 1.1 m/s and a mass of 0.46 kg. Cart 2 has a mass of 0.74 kg (a) If the total momentum of the system is to be zero, what is the initial speed of Cart 2 in meters per second? m/s (b) Does it follow that the kinetic energy of the system is also zero since the momentum of the system is...
Two carts mounted on an air track are moving toward one another. Cart 1 has a speed of 3.40 m/s and a mass of 0.500 kg. Cart 2 has a mass of 0.670 kg. (a) If the total momentum of the system is to be zero, what is the initial speed of cart 2? -2.5 Incorrect: Your answer is incorrect. Can you express the magnitude of the momentum of each cart in terms of its mass and speed? If the...
Two air-track carts move toward one another on an air track. Cart 1 has a mass of 0.39 kg and a speed of 0.99 m/s. Cart 2 has a mass of 0.64 kg. PART A What speed must cart 2 have if the total momentum of the system is to be zero? Express your answer using two significant figures. PART B Since the momentum of the system is zero, does it follow that the kinetic energy of the system is...
Two carts are on an air track (no friction). The first cart, with a mass of 1.0 kg, is traveling at 1.0 m/s towards a second stationary cart, of mass 0.7 kg. Both carts have Velcro bumpers and attach to each other after the collision. What is the final speed of both carts after the collision? (5 marks)
Two carts mounted on an air track are moving toward one another. Cart 1 has a speed of 0.8 m/s and a mass of 0.53 kg. Cart 2 has a mass of 0.71 kg. (a) If the total momentum of the system is to be zero, what is the initial speed of Cart 2 in meters per second? m/s (b) Does It follow that the kinetic energy of the system is also zero since the momentum of the system is...
if an inelastic collision of two carts on a frictionless track collides, what is the momentum of cart A and B, before and after the collision? cart A has a mass of .5025 kg and cart B has a mass of .5491 kg. carts A initial velocity is .5595 m/s then collides and sticks to cart B, which was initially at rest, with a final velocity of .1622 m/s.
Two small carts are set up on a horizontal track. Cart A (mass 0.6 kg ) sits at rest. Cart B (mass 1.3 kg ) moves to the right with a speed of 3 m/s , colliding with cart A. A) If the collision is perfectly elastic, what is the speed of cart A after the collision? B) If the collision is perfectly elastic, what's the speed of cart B after the collision? C) If the collision is perfectly inelastic,...
