For all questions, assume concepts such as friction or air resistance are negligible, unless stated otherwise in the question. Cart A (mass of 3.0 kg) is travelling at a velocity of 12 m/s [East] and collides with stationary Cart B (mass of 5.0 kg). The collision is perfectly elastic. After the collision, Cart A is now travelling at a velocity of 5 m/s [West]. Determine the velocity of Cart B after the collision.

Question

For all questions, assume concepts such as friction or air resistance are negligible,

unless stated otherwise in the question.

Cart A (mass of 3.0 kg) is travelling at a velocity of 12 m/s [East] and collides with stationary Cart B (mass of 5.0 kg). The collision is perfectly elastic. After the collision, Cart A is now travelling at a velocity of 5 m/s [West]. Determine the velocity of Cart B after the collision.
