Collision-Relative motion

Q- A cart (m1 = 120 kg) is moving to the right along a track at v1i = 15 m/s when it hits a stationary cart (m2 = 360 kg) and rebounds with a speed of v1f = 7 m/s in the opposite direction.

  1. With what speed does the 360 kg cart move after the collision?
  2. An observer moves in the same direction…

WPE Mometntum

Question 1 - A massless spring of spring constant 20 N/m is placed between two carts. Cart 1 has a mass M1 = 5 kg and Cart 2 has a mass M2 = 3.5 kg. The carts are pushed toward one another until the spring is compressed a distance 1.4 m. The carts are then released and the spring pushes them apart. …
