Looking at the diagram below, we can see 3 carts, before and after a collision.
- Cart 1-19kg
- Cart 2- 54kg
- Cart 3- 36kg
Initially cart 1 and cart 2 are moving together at a velocity of 8.2m/s to the right, while cart 3 is moving at 15m/s to the left.
Once the 3 carts collide, cart 2 and cart 3 collide inelastically, while cart 1 collides elastically, resulting with cart 1 moving alone to the left at a velocity of 16m/s anid
cart 2 and 3 stuck together moving to the right. What then will be the speed of cart 2 after the collision?
