I know the answer to the first part is 3 m/s but I don't know how to get the answer for the second part. What equation should I use/ how do I solve it? A 0.050-kg lump of clay moving horizontally at 12 m/s strikes and sticks to a stationary 0.15-kg cartthat can move on a frictionless air track.a) Determine the speed of the cart and clay after the collision.b) If the collision lasts 0.1 s, with what average force was the cart struck by the clay?

Given data: Mass of cart (m) = 0.15 kg Initial velocity of cart (v0) = 0 m/s, at rest Final…
