Two carts, A and B, are connected by a spring and sitting at rest on a track. Cart A has a mass of 0.4 kg and Cart B has a mass
Ilya [14]

Both carts experience the same force but Cart A has a greater speed after the recoil.

The given parameters;

  • <em>Mass of the cart A = 0.4 kg</em>
  • <em>Mass of the cart B = 0.8 kg</em>

Apply the principle of conservation of linear momentum to determine the velocity of the carts after collision;

m_Av_0_A\ + m_Bv_0_B = m_Av_f_A \ + m_Bv_f_B\\\\the \ initial \ velocity \ of \ both \ carts = 0\\\\0.4(0) + 0.8(0) = 0.4v_f_A + 0.8v_f_B\\\\0 = 0.4v_f_A + 0.8v_f_B\\\\0.4v_f_A = -0.8v_f_B\\\\v_f_A= \frac{-0.8 v_f_B}{0.4} \\\\v_f_A = - 2 \ v_f_B \ \ m/s

According to Newton's third law of motion, action and reaction are equal and opposite. The force exerted on cart A is equal to the force exerted on cart B but in opposite direction.

F_A = -F_B

Thus, the correct statement that compares the motion and forces acting on the two carts is "Both carts experience the same force but Cart A has a greater speed after the recoil."
