Q2 Two carts, A and B, have masses of 0.500 kg and 0.750 kg respectively. While traveling towards each other, Cart A and B undergo a head-on collision and rebound apart in opposite directions. Data for collision is shown below. The measured speeds are accurate to within 0.1 m/s. Velocity before (m/s) | Velocity after (m/s) Cart A +7.0 -6.3 Cart B -3.0 +5.9 (a) Show that the momentum of the two-cart system is conserved by calculating the system's momentum before and after the collision. (b) Calculate the impulse each cart feels during the collision. Explain how your results show evidence for Newton's 3rd Law. (c) Using hi-speed video analysis, the time of the collision is determined to be 0.030 seconds. Calculate the average collision force.
