Question

In this experiment, the masses of the two carts were measured to be

m1 = 1.016 kg,  m2 = 0.505 kg

Use these masses and the statistics data from the graph to calculate

  • the total momentum of the system (cart 1 + cart 2) right before the collision (while cart 1 was going at a nearly constant speed)
  • the total momentum of the system (cart 1 + cart 2) right after the collision (both carts going at a nearly constant speeds)
