Transcribed Image Text:**Question:**
Two carts with masses \( M1 = 5.2 \, \text{kg} \) and \( M2 = 3.7 \, \text{kg} \) are on a frictionless track. Cart 1 is initially moving to the right at \( 6.8 \, \text{m/s} \) and cart 2 is initially moving to the left at \( 2.1 \, \text{m/s} \). The carts collide and rebound off each other. After the collision, cart 1 is moving to the left at \( 8.1 \, \text{m/s} \). What is the final velocity (speed and direction) of cart 2?
- **a** \( 18.84 \, \text{m/s} \) to the right
- **b** \( 18.84 \, \text{m/s} \) to the left
- **c** \( 0.27 \, \text{m/s} \) to the right
- **d** \( 0.27 \, \text{m/s} \) to the left
**Explanation:**
This physics problem involves a collision between two carts on a frictionless track. You will need to apply the principle of conservation of momentum to solve for the final velocity of the second cart.
