Answer:

The correct answer is option a.

Explanation:

Conservation of momentum :

m_1u_1+m_2u_2=m_1v_1+m_1v_2

Where :

m_1, m_2 = masses of object collided

u_1,u_2 = initial velocity before collision

v_1,v_2 = final velocity after collision

We have :

Two equal-mass carts roll towards each other.

m_1=m_2=M

Initial velocity of m_1=u_1=2 m/s

Initial velocity of m_2=u_2=-1 m/s (opposite direction)

Final velocity of m_1=v_1=v (same direction )

Final velocity of m_2=v_2=v  (same direction)

M\times 2 m/s+M(-1 m/s)=Mv+Mv

1 m/s=2v

v = 0.5 m/s

The speed of the carts after their collision is 0.5 m/s.
