Two carts are positioned on an air track. Cart A has a mass m and has a spring on one end. Cart B has a mass 2m and is at rest. Cart A moves toward cart B at a speed +v until the two carts have an elastic collision. Which one of the following statements concerning this situation is true? After the collision, both cars are moving in the positive direction. The total kinetic energy after the collision is equal to me. Car B will be at rest after the collision. Car A will be at rest after the collision. The magnitude of the final velocity of Car A will be greater than that of car B.
