Asked by Chad
A low friction cart of mass m, traveling at speed v, collides (perfectly) elastically with a cart of triple the
mass, initially at rest. What is the result of this collision? (What are the final, after-collision velocities?) Do
NOT use the derived equations from the textbook. Work this out and show the work.

I will be happy to try to check your work.
You have two equations: conservation of momentum, and energy.

Bob, AKA smart guy,
I already figured it out thank you very much. You obviously didn't read the question as it says don't use derived equations from the textbook. Wouldn't you assume conservation of energy and momentum equations are in the book?
