Question

Cart A with a mass of 28kg is moving to the RIGHT at 11m/s and Cart B with a mass of 17kg is moving LEFT at negative 9m/s. The carts collide and STICK TOGETHER. What is the velocity of the carts after they collide?

Answer 1

Should be 17.8m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Initial momentum = Final momentum

(m1×v1)+(m2×v2)=(m1+m2)v since its an inelastic collision.
