Please help with the questions and interpret the graph III An Inelastic

III An Inelastic Collision between carts of different masses and approximately equal initial speeds (but in opposite directions). INELASTIC COLLISION M1 = 2 kg, M2 = 1 kg, V1 = 1 m/s, V2 = -1 m/s 2.0 CART 2 1.0 Distance (m) CARTEL 0.0 0.0 0.2 0.4 0.6 0.8 1.0 1.2 1.4 1.6 1.8 2.0 Time(s ) 1.0 0.8 Cart 1 0.6 0.4 0.2 city (m/s 0.0 8. This time we'll assume that cart 1 has a mass M,=0.300 kg. Based on the position vs. time graph, but without doing any detailed calculations, is the mass of cart 2 greater or less than 0.300 kg? 9. From graph 1, determine the velocity of the two carts as they move together after the collision? +/- m/s 10. Based on the velocity graph above, and recognizing that momentum is conserved in this "perfectly inelastic" collision, estimate the mass of cart 2 +/- kg
