A lab mouse of mass m= 0.0487 kg is placed on an air track cart of mass m1= 0.433 kg. The mouse and the cart are initially at rest, as is a nearby second cart with a mass of m2=0.220 kg. They then make the lab mouse jump to the second cart. After the jump, the cart with the mass m1 is measured to have speed v1= 0.861 m/s. The mouse and the second cart move together with a speed v2. What is the value for v2? a-1.39 m/s b-2.77 m/s c-0.774 m/s d-0.0642 m/s e-0.531 m/s

Question

A lab mouse of mass m= 0.0487 kg is placed on an air track cart of mass m1= 0.433 kg. The mouse and the cart are initially at rest, as is a nearby second cart with a mass of m2=0.220 kg. They then make the lab mouse jump to the second cart. After the jump, the cart with the mass m1 is measured to have speed v1= 0.861 m/s. The mouse and the second cart move together with a speed v2. What is the value for v2?
a-1.39 m/s

b-2.77 m/s

c-0.774 m/s

d-0.0642 m/s
