Two carts (one 1.3 kg, and the other 2.0 kg) roll without friction towards each other on a straight level track, and hit, and (thanks to some springy bumpers) bounce off of each other. The 1.3 kg cart was initially going 3.5 m/s in the positive x direction, while the 2.0 kg cart was initially going 4.7 m/s in the negative x direction. If after bouncing off of each other the 1.3 kg cart is going 1.2 m/s in the negative x direction, how fast is the 2.0 kg cart going and how much kinetic energy was “lost”?
Answer: 1.6 m/s with 26 J “Lost”

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 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 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.

Imagine two carts with different masses colliding (m1 = 1.0 kg, m2 = 2.0 kg). If cart one is initially moving at 10 m/s and the other cart is stationary, calculate the final speed of each mass after they have a 100% elastic collision. Please show all work!

Two carts on an air track slide towards each other. The first mass 7kg is going left to right at 9.0 m/s. The second of a mass 7kg is going right to left at 2.0m/s. They collide and stick together. What is their speed in M/S afterwards?

A 2.4-kg cart is rolling along a frictionless, horizontal track towards a 1.2-kg cart that is held initially at rest. The carts are loaded with strong magnets that cause them to attract one another. Thus, the speed of each cart increases. At a certain instant before the carts collide, the first cart's velocity is +3.5 m/s, and the second cart's velocity is -1.4 m/s. (a) What is the total momentum of the system of the two carts at this instant?...

2. Two balls are rolling towards each other. One is moving left to right at 4 m/s, and weighs 5 kg. The other is rolling right to left at 8 m/s, and also weighs 5 kg. They hit each other, and bounce apart again. You measure that the first ball is now traveling at 8 m/s. How fast is the other ball going after the collision? 3. You repeat the experiment, but this time you measure that the first ball...
