Now i figured out using lol diagram that es would be equal to ek so then Ek=.5*m*V^2 and found the velocity not using the momentum. Anyone think what i did was wrong?
Mass of cart A: 1kg
Mass of Cart B: 3Kg
Spring potential energy: 24 Joules
Two carts are pushed apart when the spring is released.
Thats all the given and I'm suppose to find the final velocity.
I have no idea how to get started.
For me to use Es=(1/2)K*DeltaX^2, i don't have delta x or...
