A 75-Kg girl leaps from cart A with horizontal velocity of 3 m/s measured relative to cart A. Carts A and B have the same mass of 50 kg and are originally at rest. a. Determine the velocity of cart A just after she jumps. b. If she then lands on cart B and comes to stop relative to cart B, determine the velocity of cart B just after she lands on it.
