In an inelastic collision, the carts do not stick together. After the collision, the incident cart has velocity v'i and the target cart has velocity v't. Again, the target cart is at rest when the incident cart collides with it with velocity v. Since momentum is conserved, we have: miv = miv'i + mtv't v = 1.6288 v' = O.341 v' = 0.6295 mt (target cart) = 301.21 g also, determine the kinetic energy lost in the collision as a percentage of the initial kinetic energy of the incident cart. %KElost = 1 KEfKEO
