Question: A 5 0 0 gram cart ( cart 1 ) moves with a velocity of + 0 . 7 5 m / s and

 A 500 gram cart(cart 1) moves with a velocity of +0.75 m/s and collides with a second stationary cart (cart 2). After the collision, cart 1 is observed to have a velocity of -0.50 m/s. You can assume that the collision is either completely elastic to completely inelastic (only one of these choices is reasonable). Determine the mass of Cart 2 and its velocity following the collision.
