3. Cart 1 initially at rest is struck by cart 2, which has twice the mass of cart 1. The figure shows the velocity of cart 2 as a function of time. Reproduce the graph below and complete it by adding the velocity of cart 1 during the same time interval.

Step 1
Cart 2 has twice the mass of cart 1. Initially, cart 1 is at rest, and cart 2 has an initial velocity as shown in the graph. Show more…

You notice that a shopping cart $20.0 \mathrm{~m}$ away is moving with a velocity of $0.70 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$ toward you. You launch a cart with a velocity of $1.1 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$ directly at the other cart in order to intercept it. When the two carts collide elastically, they remain in contact for approximately 0.2 s. Graph the position, velocity, and force for both carts as a function of time.
Situation Three: Two carts, each with a mass of 780g, were rolled toward each other on a track, collided, and bounced apart. The graph below shows the velocity vs. time graph for both carts. Using the graph: a) Find the impulse on each cart. b) At approximately what time do the carts first touch each other? c) Find the average net forces on each cart.

Starting from rest, a 1 kg cart moves to the right along a horizontal surface that exerts negligible friction, while being pushed by a horizontal force F as shown: The force exerted on the cart as a function of displacement is graphed below: Determine the final speed of the cart after 12 m.
