Question: Figure 4.11 shows the (v_{x}(t)) curves for a collision between two identical carts moving not on a low-friction track but rather on a rough surface,

Figure 4.11 shows the \(v_{x}(t)\) curves for a collision between two identical carts moving not on a low-friction track but rather on a rough surface, so that friction affects their motion. Are the changes in the velocity of the carts caused by the collision still equal in magnitude?

Data from Figure 4.11
