Question: Consider two cases in which cart A moves to the left with momentum p i and then collides with a second cart which is initially

Consider two cases in which cart A moves to the left with momentum piand then collides with a second cart which is initially at rest on a horizontal, frictionless air track.
In case 1, cart A moves to the left after the collision at a speed of 1 m/s. In case 2, cart A moves to the right after the collision with the same speed as in case 1(1 m/s).
After the collision, the magnitude of the second cart's momentum in case 1 is _______ the magnitude of the second cart's momentum in case 2.
