Imagine that you are experimenting with two carts on an air track. Both carts have the same mass. You set cart A at rest on the track and slide cart B towards it with speed ( v ). Choose a possible outcome of the collision
a) Cart A moving forward with speed v/2, cart B moving backwards with speed (v).
b) Cart A at rest, cart B moving backwards with speed (v).
c) Cart A moving forwards with speed 2v, cart B moving forwards with speed (v).
d) Cart A moving forwards with speed (v), cart B at rest.

Accepted Answer

The possible outcome of the collision would be Cart A moving forwards with speed (v), cart B at rest. That is option D.What is speed?Speed is defined as the quality of movement of an object with respect to time without the consideration of the direction of its movement.From the question, the experiment contains two carts, A and B. Cart B is moving with the speed of v towards cart A. Since the both cart bears the same mass, the speed of cart B would reduce while causing the movement of cart A.Learn more about speed here:https://brainly.com/question/26046491#SPJ1
