A 1.0-kg standard cart collides on a low-friction track with cart A. The standard cart has an initial xcomponent of velocity of +0.40 m/s, and cart A is initially at rest. After the collision the x component of velocity of the standard cart is +0.20 m/s and the x component of velocity of cart A is +0.70 m/s . After the collision, cart A continues to the end of the track and rebounds with its speed unchanged. Before the carts collide again, you drop a lump of putty onto cart A, where it sticks. After the second collision, the x component of velocity of the standard cart is -0.20 m/s and the x component of velocity of cart A is +0.50 m/s .

What is the inertia of the putty?

a 2.34-kg cart on a long, level, low friction track is heading for a small electric fan at 0.21 m/s. The fan which was initially off, is turned on. As the fan speeds up, the magnitude of the force it exerts on the cart is given by at^2, where a=0.0200 N/s^2 A. What is the speed of the cart 3.5 s after the fan is turned on? (first i got 0.4958 m/s but was wrong) B. After how many seconds...

A 95.7 kg cart initially sits at rest on a flat track. This cart of charge 0.006 C is placed in an initial potential of 276,228 V, which launches it toward a spring with a spring constant of 416.2 N/m. After being launched, the cart crashes into the spring that brings it to a stop. How far is the spring compressed in order to stop the cart?
