Velocity versus time for Cart 1 and Cart 2 during a collision.
Velocity versus time for Cart 1 and Cart 2 during a collision.
Two carts, Cart 1 and Cart 2, move along a horizontal frictionless track and undergo a one-dimensional collision along the x-axis. The graph shows the velocity v of each cart as a function of time t before, during, and after the collision. No net external horizontal force acts on the two-cart system. Which of the following statements correctly relates the inertial masses of the carts and characterizes the collision?
