The speed of cart b is 6m/s while the total momentum of the systmen is 4200 kg m/s
<h3>Conservation of Linear Momentum</h3>
Given Data
- Mass of cart one M1 = 150kg
- Initial Velocity U1 = 8m/s
Mass of cart two M2 = 150kg
Velocity U2 = 6m/s
Applying the principle of conservation of linear momentum we have
M1U1+M2U2 = M1V1+ M2V2
a. what is the speed of cart b after collision
substituting our given data we have
150*8+ 150*6 = 150*5+150*V2
1200 + 900 = 1200+ 150V2
2100 - 1200 = 150V2
900 = 150V2
Divide both sides by 150
V2 = 900/150
V2 = 6m/s
b. what is the total momentum of the system before and after collision
Total Momentum in the system is
Total momentum = Momentum before Impact+ Momentum after Impact
Total momentum = M1U1+M2U2 + M1V1+ M2V2
Total momentum = 1200 + 900 + 1200+ 900
Total momentum = 4200 kg m/s

This phenomenon is called Nuclear Magnetic Resonance.
When I met my future wife, she was working in the medical research building next door to the communications building where I worked. (We shared a parking lot.) MRI was not a thing yet, and she was doing research in Nuclear Magnetic Resonance. I learned a lot about it when I walked next door to visit her in her lab. Strange as it may seem, several years earlier, her older brother was involved in the invention of the CAT scan. When we got married, I figured that our kids had at least a 50% chance of inheriting some brains. So we had some, and they've done OK.
