part b please

Problem 3
Two carts, of unknown inertias m1 and m2, collide head-on on a low-friction track. Before the collision,
which is elastic, Cart 1 is moving to the right at 14 m/s and Cart 2 is at rest. After the collision, Cart 1 is
moving to the left at 5 m/s.
a) If the positive direction is from left to right, what is the speed of Cart 2 after the collision? Do NOT use
the info from the next part to find the answer. Hint: what kind of collision did the description say this is?
What does that mean for the coefficient of restitution?
b) If m2= 6kg, what is the inertia of Cart 1?
