You place a 0.18-kg sonic ranger on a low-friction track in front of a 0.50-kg cart to measure the cart's
velocity in the Earth reference frame, which turns out to be +(1.0 m/s). You are distracted, the cart
hits the ranger in a totally inelastic collision, and the two objects then move forward together. A friend is
running toward the cart with a velocity of -(3.5 m/s) with her sonic ranger on and pointed at the cart.
