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...

Question 1 Katie was driving her new car along busy George Street in Parramatta during peak hours when she knocked into Max, a pedestrian. Max was walking along George Street when he stopped at the corner of George and Smith Street and crossed the road without waiting for the traffic light to change. Neither Katie nor Max took any evasive action. Max could easily see Katie approaching but decided to cross the road anyway. Katie had taken her eyes off...
