Consider an inelastic collision between a 1 Kg cart moving to the right at 2 m/s and a 2 Kg cart moving to the left at 4 m/s. What is the speed and direction of the 2 carts after they have stuck together? A mass m1 traveling to the right with a speed v1 makes a glancing collision with a mass m2 initially at rest. After the collision the masses have speeds v1, and v2, and move in directions θ1 and θ2, as shown below. Determine the velocity of m2 after collision (i. e. find v2′)

  1. Consider an inelastic collision between a 1 K g cart moving to the right at 2 m / s and a 2 K g cart moving to the left at 4 m / s . What is the speed and direction of the 2 carts after they have stuck together?
  2. A mass m 1 traveling to the right with a speed v 1 makes a glancing collision with a mass m 2 initially at rest. After the collision the masses have speeds v 1 , and v 2 , and move in directions θ 1 and θ 2 , as shown below. Determine the velocity of m 2 after collision (i.e. find v 2 )
