Question

True or false

Since the same force is exerted on both carts, the cart with the smaller mass will move
quickly, while the cart with the larger mass will move slowly. Since the velocity is squared to
get the kinetic energy but mass isn’t, the cart with the bigger speed must have more kinetic
energy

Explain

Two carts, C and D, are initially at rest on a horizontal frictionless table as shown in the top-view
diagram below. A constant force of magnitude F, is exerted on each cart as it travels between
two marks on the table. Cart D has a greater mass than cart C.
