Question

can you pls also draw a picture/representation of the scenario described? Thanks so much!

A model train set includes two cars that are coupled to-
gether. The front car has mass m₁ = 2.5kg whereas the
rear car has mass m₂ 2.2 kg. The two cars are travel-
ing with speed v₁ = 3.0 m/s along a track with negligible
friction. Suddenly, the two cars become uncoupled, and a
compressed spring that was lodged between them pushes
the cars apart. (The spring remains attached to the rear
car afterward, and its mass has already been included in
the m₂ value given earlier.) The front car's speed v₁ is now
twice as large as the rear car's speed v2. What is the speed
v₁ of the front car? For the representation, be sure to in-
clude a before/after diagram of the cars with their velocity
vectors properly labeled.
