CONSERVATION OF LINEAR MOMENTUM

In this Example do the following:

• Set the momentum to 4000
• Set the mass of the second cart to 180
• The mass of the first cart is 45

Questions:

• What is the velocity of the first cart?

• What is the total kinetic energy of the system?

• What will the combined mass of the two carts be?

• What will be the velocity of the combined carts?

• What is the final kinetic energy of the system?

• How much Kinetic energy was lost?
