I need help with the homework assignment. It's about momentum conservation in explosions and collisions. I tried the first page and I believe I got the initial and final calculations wrong. What formula should I use to solve parts 1 and 2 and the analysis.

Purpose: To analyze the change in momentum of a two-objects-system, when theyinteract. Equipment: red cart, blue cart, frictionless horizontal track, meterstick and timerPART 1-"The Explosion" Before After Run 1 (mred > Mblue) Hypothesis (predict

Purpose: To analyze the change in momentum of a two-objects-system, when they interact. Equipment: red cart, blue cart, frictionless horizontal track, meterstick and timer PART 1-"The Explosion" Before After Run 1 (mred > Mblue) Hypothesis (predict how momentum of red cart compares to momentum of blue cart when they move) Magnet will be opposite direction.
