In procedure 2: assume the mass of cart 1 is m1 = 234 g and the mass of cart 2 is 181 g. Assume the track is frictionless, and the initial speed of cart 1 is 1.85 m/s.
a) If the collision is totally inelastic, find V, the speed of the carts after the collision.
b) Calculate the energy lost in the collision.
