Question
Two carts are initially moving to the right on a low-friction track, with cart 1 behind cart 2. Cart 1 has a speed twice that of cart 2 and so moves up and rear-ends cart 2, which has twice the inertia of cart 1.
A.
Suppose that the the initial speed of cart 2 is v. What is the speed of cart 1 right after the collision if the collision is elastic?
Express your answer in terms of v.
B.What is the speed of cart 2 right after the collision if the collision is elastic?
Express your answer in terms of v.
