Three carts of masses m₂ = 5.00 kg, m₂ = 7.50 kg, and my, = 3.00 kg move on a frictionless, horizontal track with speeds of v₁6.00 m/s to the right, v₂3.00 m/s to the right, and v6.00 m/s to the left, as shown below. Velcro couplers make the carts stick together after colliding. (a) Find the final velocity of the train of three carts. magnitude m/s direction -Select--- (b) Does your answer require that all the carts collide and stick together at the same moment? Yes No What if they collide in a different order?
