A2.3 kg cart is rolling across a frictionless, horizontal track toward a 1.5 kg cart that is held initially at rest. the carts are loaded with strong magnets that cause them to attract to one another; thus, the speed of each cart increases. at a certain instant before the carts collide, the first cart's velocity is +4.5 m/s and the second cart's ve; ocity is -1.9 m/s. what is the total momentum of the system of the two carts at this instant? what was the velocity of the forst cart when the second cart was still at rest?

Part a)

Part b)

Explanation:

As we know that two carts are moving in opposite directions

so here total momentum of two carts must be given by vector subtraction

It is given as

Now we know that total momentum of the system is conserved here as there is no external force on this system

so the speed of the first cart when second cart was at rest is given as

moving ball hits still ball. mover stops, hit ball moves. momentum transfer.

with the invention of the automobile, the woman of the house could drive to the store and get groceries. women were also free to socialize more. during world war ii women were allowed to work in factories to the war effort and could drive to work or ride mass transit buses to their jobs.
