A cart with mass 342 g moving on a frictionless linear airtrack at an initial speed of 1.24 m/s strikes a second cart of unknown mass at rest. The collision between the carts is elastic. After the collision, the first cart continues in its original direction at 0.636 m/s. (a) What is the mass of the second cart? (b) What is its speed after impact?
