Polly Ester and Ray Ahn are doing the Elastic Collision lab on a low-friction track. Cart A has a mass of 1.00 kg and is moving rightward at 27.6 cm/s prior to the collision with Cart B. Cart B has a mass of 0.50 kg and is moving leftward with a speed of 42.9 cm/s. After the magnetic repulsion of the two carts, Cart A is moving leftward at 10.1 cm/s. Determine the post-collision speed and direction of cart B.

The circular particle accelerator at CERN has a radius of about 4.24 km. The accelerator uses strong magnetic fields to steer charged particles in a circle, while electric fields give them more and more energy every time around.

You may assume that the magnetic field involved is perpendicular to the motion of the charges (that's the most efficient configuration).
