Question
**Collision Problem Set**

**2. A one-dimensional collision occurs between a cart of mass 12 kg moving to the right at 3 m/s and a block of mass 4 kg moving to the left at 12 m/s. After the collision, the 4 kg block moves to the right at 3 m/s.**

a. **What is the velocity of the cart after the collision?**

b. **If the collision lasts 0.020 s, find the average force on the cart.**

c. **Find the average force the cart exerts on the block during the collision.**

d. **How much kinetic energy is lost during the collision?**  
   *This lost kinetic energy is converted to thermal energy and the energy carried by the sound waves.*
