(i)

Answer to Problem 49P
Because. the distance moved by the cart is different from the distance moved by the point of application of friction force to the cart.
Explanation of Solution
The force exerted by the person on the cart must be equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the force exerted by the cart on the person. The changes in momentum of the two objects must be equal in magnitude and must be added to zero.
The change in kinetic energy is different in magnitude and does not add to zero.
Conclusion:
The following situation is represents in two ways,
The distance moved by the cart is different from the distance moved by the point of application of friction force to the cart.
The total change in mechanical energy for both objects add together becomes zero, it is perfectly in elastic collision.
