Cart 1 Cart 2 Cart 1 Cart 2 no m/s LO After Collision Before Collision Two lab carts have the same mass and are free to move on a horizontal track. The carts' wheels have negligible mass. Cart 1 travels to the right at 1.0 m/s and collides with cart 2, which is initially at rest, as shown at left above. Cart 2 has a compressed spring-loaded plunger with a non-negligible amount of stored energy. During the collision, the spring-loaded...
