Consider two carts moving on a track. The first cart has a mass of $\backslash ($ m $\backslash ),$ and the second cart has a mass of $\backslash (3$ m $\backslash ).$ The first mass is moving at a velocity $\backslash ($ v $\backslash )$ towards the second, which is stationary.

After the collision, the first cart is observed moving away from the second at a velocity of $\backslash ($ v $/2\backslash ).$ How much impulse did the second cart transfer to the first?Zero, the heavier cart is stationary and has no momentum to transfer to the lighter one.$\backslash (3/2$ m v $\backslash )$Zero$,$ the direction of impulse transfer was towards the heavy cart, not towards the light cart.$\backslash (1/2$ m v $\backslash )\backslash (2$ m v $\backslash )$
