There is a compressed spring between two laboratory carts of masses m₁ = 175 g and m₂ = 222 g. Initially, the carts are held at rest on a horizontal track as shown in figure A. The carts are released, and the cart of mass m₁ has velocity V₁ = 2.2351 m/s in the positive x direction as in figure B. Assume rolling friction is negligible. A. m2 V₂ = √√₂ = ? B.
