Two carts with masses of 4.3 kg and 3.2 kg
move toward each other on a frictionless track
with speeds of 5.8 m/s and 4.5 m/s, respec-
tively. The carts stick together after colliding
head-on.
Find their final speed. Answer in units of
m/s.
I plugged in the numbers into this equation
(4.3)(5.8) + (3.2)(4.5) = (4.3+3.2)Vf
39.34 = 7.5Vf
5.2453 = Vf
That apparently isn't the correct answer =/
