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;

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.

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."

Answer: the amount of mass is oscillating is 34.8 kg
Explanation:
Given that;
amplitude A = 20.0 cm
time t = 10 s
amplitude decreases x = 15.0 cm
damping coefficient b = 2.00 N.s/m
amount of mass is oscillating = ?
we know that; amplitude can be expressed as;
x = Ae^-(∝t)
we substitute
15 = 20e^-∝(10)
∝ = 0.02877 s⁻¹
Hence mass m will be;
m = b/2∝
we substitute
m = (2 N.s/m) / ( 2 × 0.02877 s⁻¹)
m = 34.8 kg
Therefore the amount of mass is oscillating is 34.8 kg
Forces are vectors. They cancel each other when in opposite directions. Use the equation F=GMm/r^2 and find the difference between the two forces since they are directly opposing each other.
