Chapter 3.3, Problem 2eT
Two students the second experiment, in which glider S is fixed in place.
Student 1: “When one objects hits another, the momentum of the system is always conserved.”
Student 2: “That’s right, the momentum of glider C is the same before and after the collision.”
Describe the error in each student’s statement.

A 0.2 kgkg plastic cart and a 20 kgkg lead cart can both roll without friction on a horizontal surface. Equal forces are used to push both carts forward for a distance of 1 mm, starting from rest.
After traveling 1 mm, is the momentum of the plastic cart greater than, less than, or equal to the momentum of the lead cart?
