Thats just a conservation of momentum problem. the mass of the mass of the cart times the velocity of the first cart equals the mass times the velocity plus the mass times the velocity of both the carts combined and if they don't hit head on it's the mass times the velocity devided by the cos of the angle for the first cart and mass times velocity times the cos of the angle for the second cart

A cart with mass 390 g moving on a frictionless linear air track at an initial speed of 1.3 m/s undergoes an elastic collision with an initially stationary cart of unknown mass. After the collision, the first cart continues in its original direction at 0.95 m/s. (a) What is the mass of the second cart? (b) What is its speed after impact? (c) What is the speed of the two-cart center of mass?
A cart with mass 260 g moving on a frictionless linear air track at an initial speed of 1.4 m/s undergoes an elastic collision with an initially stationary cart of unknown mass. After the collision, the first cart continues in its original direction at 0.84 m/s. (a) What is the mass of the second cart? (b) What is its speed after impact? (c) What is the speed of the two-cart center of mass? (a) Number Units (b) Number Units (c)...
A cart of mass M traveling to the right on a frictionless track with a speed 4v0 collides with another cart of mass 2M traveling to the left with a speed v0. If this collision is perfectly elastic, and carts travel in opposite directions after collision, determine the speeds of the two carts immediately after the collision in terms of M and v0.
