Three carts are moving on a frictionless horizontal track as shown in the figure. The 4.00 kg cart is moving to the right with a speed of 7.0 m/s, the 10.0 kg cart is also moving to the right with a speed of 4.0 m/s while the 3.00 kg cart moves to the left with a speed of 8 m/s. Find the final speed of the carts when they are all stuck together.
