Energy and Momentum Conservation Level 2
You will be presented with two Vernier Dynamics carts, Car 1 is at rest and Car 2 will be moving to the right. The carts will have a totally elastic interaction. Your job is to predict post collision velocities (speed and direction) of each of the cars after the collision

The cars each have a mass of 500 g when empty

Start by getting the energy and momentum of car 2. Use energy and momentum conservation to find the post collision velocities (speed and direction) of each car

Remember these cars have a mass of 500 grams when empty

When you submit your answers the cars will collide to see if your predictions are correct
