Hello All, I have a question that i can't seem to get.
If someone could help me get started on part a that would be great.
So far i have tryed using P =m1v1 and can't seem to find any other equations that would help with the problem.
Any help is great!
Thank You
Problem:
A cart with mass 390 g moving on a frictionless linear air track at an initial speed of 1.2 m/s undergoes an elastic collision with an initially stationary cart of unknown mass. After the collision, the first cart continues in its original direction at 0.57 m/s.
(a) What is the mass of the second cart?
grams
(b) What is its speed after impact?
m/s
(c) What is the speed of the two-cart center of mass?
m/s
