Two air track carts move along an air track one behind the other. Cart A has a mass of 0.450 kg and moves toward the right with a speed of .850 m/s and behind cart A is cart B. It has a mass of 0.300 kg and moves toward the right with a speed of 1.23 m/s. The cars collide and stick together. What is the speed of each car after the collision?
