39) You place two toy cars on a horizontal table and connect them with a light compressed spring as shown below. The spring tries to push the cars apart, but they are tied together by a thread. When the thread is burned, the spring pushes the cars apart. You decide to investigate how the final speed of car 2 depends on the mass of car 1. You run several experiments, changing m, and measuring v2 while keeping the compression of the spring and the mass of car 2 constant. M W. Which of the following v2-versus-m, graphs do you expect to obtain? Evaluate the graphs by analyzing limiting cases. (Chapter 7, Question 13) a. b. с. V2 V2 V2
