A2-kg cart, traveling on a horizontal air track with a speed of 3 m/s, collides with a stationary 4-kg cart. the carts stick together. calculate the magnitude of the impulse exerted by one cart on the other.

Magnitude of impulse, |J| = 4 kg-m/s                                                                                

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of cart 1,

Mass of cart 2,  

Initial speed of cart 1,          

Initial speed of cart 2, (stationary)

The carts stick together. It is the case of inelastic collision. Let V is the combined speed of both carts. The momentum remains conserved.

V = 1 m/s

The magnitude of the impulse exerted by one cart on the other is given by:

J = -4 kg-m/s

or

|J| = 4 kg-m/s

So, the magnitude of the impulse exerted by one cart on the other 4 kg-m/s. Hence, this is required solution.

8. there is a option " i want to delete my account" and click on that.

hope this u

and ur welcm

it doesn't. it was imagined up in the middle ages.
