Two carts experience a completely inelastic collision. Before the collision, cart A, which has a mass of 1.00 kg, is traveling to the right at 7.00 m/s, while cart B, with a mass of 3.00 kg, is traveling to the left at 1.00 m/s.
a) What is the velocity of the two carts after the collision?
Define right as positive, so enter a negative value if you
determine that the velocity is to the left.
_______ m/s
b) What percentage of the system's kinetic energy is lost in
this collision? By lost, we mean transformed to other forms of
energy, such as thermal energy. Express your answer as a positive
value.

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.
There are two carts colliding in elastic collision. Initial conditions: Cart 1 has an unknown mass and is traveling at 30cm/s. Cart 2 has a mass of 150g and is travelling at -30cm/s. Final Conditions: Velocity of Cart 1 is 0 and the Velocity of Cart 2 is Unknown. What is the Final Velocity of Cart 2 and the Mass of Cart 1? v1i = 30; % velocity initial of cart 1 in cm/s in the right direction v2i =...
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...
Cart 1 Cart 2 Cart 1 Cart 2 no m/s LO After Collision Before Collision Two lab carts have the same mass and are free to move on a horizontal track. The carts' wheels have negligible mass. Cart 1 travels to the right at 1.0 m/s and collides with cart 2, which is initially at rest, as shown at left above. Cart 2 has a compressed spring-loaded plunger with a non-negligible amount of stored energy. During the collision, the spring-loaded...
1-Dimensional INELASTIC Collision: A 1-kg mass traveling from left to right at 10.0 m/s hits and STICKS to a 6.00 kg mass that was travelling from right to left at 10.0 m/s. a) What is the final velocity (speed and direction) of the combined mass after the collision? b) How much KINETIC ENERGY has been LOST in this collision? c) Where did that lost energy go?
