The document presents an educational problem involving a velocity-versus-time graph.

**Text:**

4) The figure below shows the velocity-versus-time graph before and after the collision of two carts on a horizontal track. After the collision, the carts stick together. Green and blue lines show the velocities of cart 1 and cart 2, respectively, before the collision. The black line shows the velocity of the carts joined together after the collision. Determine the ratio of the carts' masses m1/m2.

**Graph Explanation:**

- **Axes:** 
  - The vertical axis represents velocity (\(v\)), while the horizontal axis represents time (\(t\)).

- **Lines:**
  - **Green Line (\(v_{1x}\)):** Represents the velocity of cart 1 before the collision.
  - **Blue Line (\(v_{2x}\)):** Represents the velocity of cart 2 before the collision.
  - **Black Line:** Represents the velocity of the combined carts after the collision (\(v\)) at time \(t_{\text{collision}}\).

**Table on Abilities:**

- **Ability A1: Can extract the information from representation correctly**

  - **Adequate:** All necessary information has been extracted correctly and coherently. Objects, systems, physical quantities, initial and final states are properly identified with correct units and consistent subscripts.
    
  - **Needs Work:** Information is mostly correct but incomplete; issues include missing units or inconsistent subscripts.

  - **Inadequate:** Extracted information has errors, such as incorrect labeling and mixing initial/final states.

  - **Missing:** No attempt to extract information from the problem text.

- **Ability A4: Is able to use representations other than math/words to solve problems**

  - **Adequate:** All relevant representations were used correctly with clear explanations.
    
  - **Needs Work:** Minor errors or missing details in representation use.

  - **Inadequate:** Incorrect or incomplete representation usage.

  - **Missing:** Uses representations beyond math/words inadequately in problem-solving.
