You will use this problem for Questions 8 and 9. Read carefully! In physics class, two “frictionless” carts are placed on a track. The first cart (m1 = 0.620 kg) is pushed to the right with a speed of 4.5 m/s. The second cart (m2 = 0.790 kg) is pushed to the left with a speed of 1.8 m/s. If the first cart rebounds with a speed of 0.9 m/s, Q8: find the speed and direction of the second cart. Q9: Determine whether the collision is elastic or not. You must show your work for full credit! For this question, enter the answer to Q8.
