Question

Transcribed Image Text:Two carts mounted on an air track are moving toward one another. Cart 1 has a speed of 0.8 m/s and a mass of 0.39 kg.
Cart 2 has a mass of 0.64 kg.
(a) If the total momentum of the system is to be zero, what is the initial speed (in m/s) of Cart 2? (Enter a number.)
m/s
(b) Does it follow that the kinetic energy of the system is also zero since the momentum of the system is zero?
Yes
O No
(c) Determine the system's kinetic energy (in J) in order to substantiate your answer to part (b). (Enter a number.)
