Rank, from largest to smallest, the following four collisions according to the magnitude of the change in t
momentum of cart B, which has twice the inertia of cart A.
Rank from largest to smallest. To rank items as equivalent, overlap them.
► View Available Hint(s)
A initially moving right at 1.0 m/s, B
initially moving left at 1.0 m/s; stick
together on impact.
A initially stationary, B initially moving
left at 1.0 m/s stick together on
impact
P Pearson
A initially moving right at 1.0 m/s;
after impact, A moving left at 0.33
m/s, B moving right at 0.67 m/s.

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given data:

Relation between the masses of two carts A and B is,

mB=2mA

1st condition, initial velocity for cart A uiA=1.0 m/s right

initial velocity for cart B uiB=1.0 m/s left

2nd condition, initial velocity for cart A uiA=0 m/s

initial velocity for cart B uiB=1.0 m/s left

3rd condition, initial velocity for cart A uiA=1.0 m/s right

final velocity for cart A viA=0.33 m/s left

final velocity for cart B viB=0.67 m/s right

4th condition, initial velocity for cart A uiA=1.0 m/s right

initial velocity for cart B uiB=0 m/s
