![**Physics Question: Collision of Carts on a Frictionless Track**
Two carts with masses \( M_1 = 5.2 \, \text{kg} \) and \( M_2 = 3.7 \, \text{kg} \) are on a frictionless track. Cart 2 is initially at rest. If cart 1 approaches cart 2 at \( 4.1 \, \text{m/s} \), collides with, and sticks to cart 2, how fast do the pair of them move after the collision?
**Options:**
- a. \( 4.1 \, \text{m/s} \)
- b. \( 1.2 \, \text{m/s} \)
- c. \( 8.7 \, \text{m/s} \)
- d. \( 2.4 \, \text{m/s} \) *(correct answer)*](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Fc24bd4d0-b19d-4719-924c-7f95395f0163%2F70f04c0a-d4f7-4966-b917-405b68305969%2Fivh5dfh_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
