Question

Two rolling carts are moving toward each other at the same constant speed of 10m/s.

Cart 1 travels to the right with a mass m= 0.2kg and while Cart 2 travels to the left with a mass m= 0.4kg.

(a)  Draw a velocity vector ?⃗v→ for each cart.

(b)  Momentum ?⃗p→ is a vector defined as  ?⃗=??⃗p→=mv→. Draw a momentum vector for each cart.

(c)  Add the two momentum vectors together to find the total momentum, ?⃗?????=?⃗1+?⃗2p→total=p→1+p→2
