Frictionless linear air track at an initial speed

Reference no: EM13548218

A cart with mass 380 g moving on a frictionless linear air track at an initial speed of 0.9 m/s undergoes an elastic collision with an initially stationary cart of unknown mass. After the collision, the first cart continues in its original direction at 0.67 m/s.
