We smashed carts into each other in elastic (or mostly elastic) collisions. But there are other pieces you can put on the carts that would make them stick together. Imagine we had done that, smashing a cart with mass m1=0.32kg and initial speed v0=0.95m/s into a second cart that is not moving.
a)How much kinetic energy would be lost in the collision if the stationary cart's mass were m2=0.55kg?

Activity 4c: Analyzing Equations for Elastic Collisions Our textbook claims (without deriving, due to some "straightforward but messy algebra”) that we can predict the velocities of the two carts after an elastic collision with a relatively simple formula: V1.5 = (mi - m2 V11 \m₂ + m₂ (Equation 1) V2.5 = 2mi V1, \mi + m2 (Equation 2) where subscripts 1 and 2 refer to the first cart and the second cart, respectively, i and frefer to the time before...
Imagine two carts with different masses colliding (m1 = 1.0 kg, m2 = 2.0 kg). If cart one is initially moving at 10 m/s and the other cart is stationary, calculate the final speed of each mass after they have a 100% elastic collision. Please show all work!
An air-track cart with mass m1=0.30kg and initial speed v0=0.95m/s collides with and sticks to a second cart that is at rest initially. If the mass of the second cart is m2=0.50kg, how much kinetic energy is lost as a result of the collision?

Because there are no magnets on the Velcro side of the red cart, we'll end up with the plastic of the blue cart hitting Total mass mb of blue cart the Velcro of the...
Collisions are classified as elastic (kinetic energy is conserved), inelastic (kinetic energy is lost) or completely inelastic (the objects stick together after collision). Give an example of each type of collision. Is momentum conserved in each case?
A cart of mass 0.20 kg starts moving at velocity 3.0 m/s collides inelastically with an initially stationary cart of mass 0.40 kg. (A) If the carts stick together, what is their combined velocity immediately after the collision? (B) How much kinetic energy is lost in the collision?
4. Two carts collide and stick together in a lab experiment. Cart 1 has a mass of 550 g and a speed before the collision of 2.5 m/s. Cart 2 has a mass of 320 g and a speed of -4.1 m/s. Consider the 2 carts to be the system. A. What is the total momentum of the system before the collision? B. What is the velocity of the 2 carts after the collision? C. If the collision takes 0.15s,...

There are two carts colliding in elastic collision. Initial conditions: Cart 1 has an unknown mass and is traveling at 30cm/s. Cart 2 has a mass of 150g and is travelling at -30cm/s. Final Conditions: Velocity of Cart 1 is 0 and the Velocity of Cart 2 is Unknown. What is the Final Velocity of Cart 2 and the Mass of Cart 1? v1i = 30; % velocity initial of cart 1 in cm/s in the right direction v2i =...
