Two equal mass carts approach each other with velocities equal in magnitude but opposite in direction. friction can be neglected. if the carts collide completely inelastically, what will be the final velocity of the combined system?

to the left with half the initial velocity
not enough information!
0
to the right with half the intial velocity

0

Explanation:

Since momentum is given by:

Therefore momentum is a vector quantity in the direction of velocity.

This case can be described mathematically as:

since the mass and velocity are equal:

net momentum:

answer: 0.20

explanation: this can only be the answew because all the other measuremnets are not close

you cant move and you feel like someones pushing you down onto your bed it can feel like you want to get up but you just can't it can be extremely scary
