Question

1. Calculate the magnitude of the impulse during the collision.

2. Calculate the magnitude and direction of the velocity of the 4.0 kg cart after the collision.

3. Calculate the mass m of the second cart 

4.0 m/s
3.0 kg
A 3.0 kg cart is moving at a speed of 4.0 m/s to the right across a
frictionless table, as shown above. It collides with a second cart of
an unknown mass m that is initially at rest. The magnitude of the
force Fof the collision as a function of time tis 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 1.6 m/s
to the right. Assume that friction is negligible before, during, and
after the collision.
