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 small, 250 g cart is moving at 1.80 m/s on a frictionless track when it collides with a larger, 2.00 kg cart at rest. After the collision, the small cart recoils at 0.820 m/s . What is the speed of the large cart after the collision?
A small, 150 g cart is moving at 1.50 m/s on a frictionless track when it collides with a larger, 2.00 kg cart at rest. After the collision, the small cart recoils at 0.890 m/s . Part A What is the speed of the large cart after the collision?
Reminder: No collision is truly elastic! assume cart 1 has mass 234 g and initial velocity +v10 = 7.6 m/s, and cart 2 has mass 897 g. Assume the track is frictionless, and after the "elastic" collision cart 1 is moving at v1 = -4.362 m/s and cart 2 is moving at v2 = 3.035 m/s. What percentage of the original linear momentum was "lost" due to external forces? (Remember: linear momentum is a vector!) i am not asking for...
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.
