Question
For all questions, assume concepts such as friction or air resistance are negligible,
unless stated otherwise in the question.
- Cart A (mass of 3.0 kg) is travelling at a velocity of 12 m/s [East] and collides with stationary Cart B (mass of 5.0 kg). The collision is perfectly elastic. After the collision, Cart A is now travelling at a velocity of 5 m/s [West]. Determine the velocity of Cart B after the collision.
