Set up the red car with an initial velocity of +3m/s and mass of 3 kg.Set up the blue car with an initial velocity of -2 m/s and mass of 1 kg. they join and have a final velocity of +1.8m/s

a)Show by calculation if momentum is conserved. Include a percentage error calculation. Use the initial momentum before as the theoretical value for the percentage error calculation. Make a statement

b)Show by calculation if kinetic energy is conserved. Use the initial kinetic energy before as the theoretical value for the percentage error calculation. Make a statement.

A red cart with a mass of 250 g is initially moving east at 2.25 m/s. It collides with a blue cart with a mass of 350 g that is initially moving west at 0.750 m/s. After the collision the kinetic energy of the two carts together is 0.200 J more than before the collision, because the spring plunger of one of the carts pushes them apart during the collision. After the collision, the two carts are still moving along...
