 Ranking Task 4: Bouncing Cart A cart with a spring plunger

Ranking Task 4: Bouncing Cart 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. Rank the change in kinetic energy for each cart from the least change in kinetic energy to the greatest change in kinetic energy. Negative values are less than positive values.
