I need help on question 9d, e, and f.

**9. Two carts are moving toward each other on a track and collide. The following table shows the data for the collision:**

|            | Cart 1       | Cart 2        |
|------------|--------------|---------------|
| Mass       | 280 g        | 320 g         |
| Initial velocity | 0.60 m/s to the right | 0.30 m/s to the left |
| Final velocity   | 0.20 m/s to the left   | 0.40 m/s to the right |

(a) What is the coefficient of restitution of this collision?

(b) Is this collision totally elastic? Explain.

(c) Calculate the initial velocity of the center of mass of the system that includes both carts.

(d) Calculate the change in total momentum of the system that includes both carts and explain whether what you find is reasonable.

(e) Calculate the change in total kinetic energy of the system that includes both carts and explain whether what you find is reasonable.

(f) Make a new table that lists the velocities of the carts relative to a reference frame that is moving 0.20 m/s ‘to the left’ according to the coordinate system used in the table above.

**10. The map of city streets to the right shows blocks that are 40 m wide and 75 m long. A person walks along the streets from A to B in 2.0 minutes (as directly as they can while staying on the streets).**

(a) What is the magnitude and direction of the person’s displacement?

(b) What is the person’s average speed?

(c) What is the person’s average velocity?

*Diagram Description*: There is a grid showing blocks. Points A and B are marked, and the path from A to B is recorded as 100 m north and 200 m east.

**11. The position of a 25 kg robot that is moving along a straight track in the x direction is given by the function x(t) = (0.001 m/s⁴)t⁴ + (-0.04 m/s³)t³ + (0.4 m/s²)t² between the times t = 0 and t = 20 s.**

The maximum speed of the robot occurs both near t = 5 s and t = 15 s. Find that maximum speed.

**Review of Formulas**

1. **Displacement**  
   \(\Delta \vec{r} = \vec{v}_{\text{avg}} \Delta t\)  
   *(How far, how fast, how long)*

2. **Momentum**  
   \(\vec{p} = m \vec{v}\)

3. **Kinetic Energy**  
   \(K = \frac{1}{2} mv^2\)

4. **Force**  
   \(\vec{F} = \frac{d}{dt} \vec{p}\) or \(\vec{F} = \frac{\Delta \vec{p}}{\Delta t}\)

5. **Relative Velocity**  
   \(\vec{v}_{Eb} = \vec{v}_{Es} + \vec{v}_{sb}\)

6. **Inverse Relative Velocity**  
   \(\vec{v}_{Eb} = -\vec{v}_{bE}\)

7. **Center of Mass Position**  
   \(\vec{r}_{cm} = \frac{m_1 \vec{r}_1 + m_2 \vec{r}_2 + \ldots}{m_1 + m_2 + \ldots}\)

8. **Center of Mass Velocity**  
   \(\vec{v}_{cm} = \frac{\vec{p}_{\text{tot}}}{m_{\text{tot}}} = \frac{m_1 \vec{v}_1 + m_2 \vec{v}_2 + \ldots}{m_1 + m_2 + \ldots}\)

9. **Final Momentum**  
   \(\vec{p}_{\text{final}} = \vec{p}_{\text{initial}} + \Delta \vec{p}_{\text{in}} - \Delta \vec{p}_{\text{out}}\)

**Isolated System**

- \(\vec{p}_{\text{tot i}} = \vec{p}_{\text{tot f}}\)
- \(m_1 \vec{v}_{1i} + m_2 \vec{v}_{2i} = m_1 \vec{v}_{1f} + m_2 \vec{v}_{2f}\)
- Coefficient of Restitution:
