4. Two carts collide and stick together in a lab experiment. Cart 1 has a mass of 550 g and a speed before the collision of 2.5 m/s. Cart 2 has a mass of 320 g and a speed of -4.1 m/s. Consider the 2 carts to be the system.

A. What is the total momentum of the system before the collision?

B. What is the velocity of the 2 carts after the collision?

C. If the collision takes 0.15s, what is the average force and acceleration experienced by each cart? Explain any differences between the answers for the 2 carts.

D. What speed would cart 2 need to have for the carts to be stationary after the collision?

When two carts collide, we know that the total momentum of the system should be conserved, as long as there are no external forces acting on the system. That is, Pi = Pf, where Pi and Pf are the total momenta before and after the collision, respectively. TOTALLY INELASTIC COLLISIONS A. Carts with Equal Mass Orient the carts so their Velcro bumpers face each other. In the collisions they MUST stick together. 1. Place one cart at rest in the...
