A cart with mass m1 = 3.2 kg and initial velocity of v1,i = 2.1 m/s collides with another cart of mass M2 = 4.3 kg which is initially at rest in the lab frame. The collision is completely elastic, and the wheels on the carts can be treated as massless and frictionless. What is the velocity of m1 in the center of mass frame after the collision? vf* =

Answer:

Vf = 0.896 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

In the picture.

I hope that it's a clear solution.

If that mistake, it's okay just I tried to help you :)
