Cart 1, with m₁= 5.6 kg, is moving on a frictionless linear air track at an initial speed of 1.7 m/s. It undergoes an elastic collision with an initially stationary cart 2, with m₂, an unknown mass. After the collision, cart 1 continues in its original direction at 0.6 m/s

a) what is the magnitude of the momentum of cart 2 before the collision?

b) what is the magnitude of the momentum of cart 1 after the collision?

c) what is the magnitude of the momentum of cart 2 after the collision?

d) what is the kinetic energy of cart 1 before the collision?

e) what is the kinetic energy of cart 2 before the collision?

f) what is the kinetic energy of cart 1 after the collision?

g) what is the kinetic energy of cart 2 after the collision?

h) using your energy and momentum for cart 2 after the collision, find the mass of cart 2. Hint: Remember that kinetic energy can be written in terms of momentum KE=(p^2)/(2m)

-A roller coaster cart of mass (m1=127 kg) initially sits at rest on a track. Once the motor is activated, the cart is accelerated forward (across level ground) until it reaches the bottom of a giant circular loop with a radius of (r1=17.5 m). At this point, the motor is turned off and the cart must "coast" for the remainder of the ride. Assume the track is frictionless and ignore air resistance. At the top of the loop, what is...
