Expert Solution
Step 1 Collision

In an inelastic collision, when two identical masses of which one is moving with velocity u and another one at rest, then after collision they stick together and move in the direction of first mass.

u1+u2=v1+v2

where, u1, u2 are the initial velocities of cart

           v1, v2 are the final velocities of cart
