An air-track cart with mass m=0.40kg and speed v0=1.2m/s approaches two other carts that are at rest and have masses 2m and 3m, as indicated in (Figure 1). The carts have bumpers that make all the collisions elastic.

A) Find the final speed of cart 1, assuming the air track extends indefinitely in either direction. Express your answer to two significant figures and include appropriate units.

B) Find the final speed of cart 2, assuming the air track extends indefinitely in either direction. Express your answer to two significant figures and include appropriate units.

C) Find the final speed of cart 3, assuming the air track extends indefinitely in either direction. Express your answer to two significant figures and include appropriate units.

Two carts are initially moving to the right on a low-friction track, with cart 1 behind cart 2. Cart 1 has a speed twice that of cart 2 and so moves up and rear-ends cart 2, which has twice the inertia of cart 1. Q1: Suppose that the the initial speed of cart 2 is vv. What is the speed of cart 1 right after the collision if the collision is elastic? Express your answer in terms of v. Q2:What...

Two carts are rolling to the right along the same level track. Cart 1 (m1 = 3.81 kg) is in the rear, rolling at a speed of 6.25 m/s and catching up to cart 2, rolling at 3.07 m/s. Round final results to 3 digits. a) Cart 1 of course overtakes and collides with cart 2. Velcro pads on the carts make them stick together during the collision, after which they both continue rolling right, but at a speed of...
