A cart with a spring plunger runs into a fixed barrier. The mass of the cart, its velocity just before impact with the barrier, and its velocity right after collision are given in each figure. (All velocities before the collision are given as positive since the cart is moving to the right. After the collision the cart is either moving to the left, indicated with a negative velocity, or is at rest.)
