Question

A 3 kg cart is moving at 5 m/s to the right and hits a
stationary 4 kg cart. After the collision, the 3 kg cart is
stationary. What is the velocity of the 4 kg cart after the
collision?

Expert Solution

Step 1

Answer:-

Given

Mass of first cart (m₁) = 3 kg

Mass of second cart(m₂) = 4 kg

Initial velocity of first cart (u₁) = 5 m/s

Initial velocity of second Cart (u₂) = 0 m/s

Final velocity of first cart(V₁) = 0 m/s

Final velocity of second cart (V₂) = ?

We know that

According to conservation of linear momentum.

m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = m₁V₁+ m₂V₂

(3 × 5) + (4 × 0) = (3 × 0) + 4 × V₂

15 + 0 = 0 + 4 V₂

4 V₂ = 15
