QUESTION 1
In this experiment you will analyze collision data for two colliding masses (carts). This
situation is depicted schematically below. The carts stick together after the collision and
travel at the same speed. If $m_1 = 0.500 \text{ kg}$, $v_1 = 0.25 \frac{\text{m}}{\text{s}}$, $m_2 = 1.000 \text{ kg}$, $v_f = 0.07 \frac{\text{m}}{\text{s}}$
$v_1$
$m_1$
$v_2 = 0$
$m_2$
initial
$v_f$
$m_1$
$m_2$
final
a) The total momentum for the two carts system before the collision is?
b) The total momentum for the two carts system after the collision is?
c) The impulse during the collision for the two carts system is?
