Question

A 2.0 kg frictionless cart is moving at a constant speed of 3.0 m/s to the right on a horizontal surface, as shown above, when it collides with a second cart of undetermined mass m that is initially at rest. The magnitude of the force F of the collision as a function of time t is shown in the graph below, where t = 0 is the instant of initial contact. As a result of the collision, the second cart acquires a speed of 2.4 m/s to the right. Assume that friction is negligible before, during, and after the collision.

a) Calculate the magnitude and direction of the velocity of the 2.0 kg cart after the collision.

b) Calculate the mass m of the second cart.
