Question

2. An Elastic Collision between carts of equal masses with one at rest Cart 1 is launched from one the wall end of the track (x-0) while cart #2 is in the center of the air track, not moving. The computer graphs on the next page show the motion up to the point of collision. The mass of cart 1 is 1 kg. The mass of cart 2 is also 1 kg. Pre-lab task 1: (3 points) Your job here is two-fold: . first, draw what you think the motion will be after collision, completing all three graphs; then discuss the motion and momentum of each cart, and the total momentum of the carts, both before and after the collision, in the space provided. Before Collision: After Collision:

Explanation / Answer

THe graph in this figure, at t=1 second, both carts are meeting and collide with each other elastically.so The graph in the page is already present in the given page. So the momentum will conserve sfter collision as it is elastic collosions.
