Question

Physics

An experiment involving perfect inelasticcollision is conducted: two carts with velcro stripsare placed on a track attached to a motion sensor. One cart isstationary and the other is pushed slightly towards the cart suchthat it attaches to the cart that is stationary (via. velcro).Given the following data of the experiment, what is the expectedfinal velocity of the moving object? Compare the expected finalvelocity to the actual measured one, then determine what thepercentage error of it is.

TrialMass One (Moving Cart)Mass Two (Stationary Cart)Initial VelocityFinal Velocity
1511 g506 g0.1974 m/s0.1564

For some reason, I keep getting 0.09918525 m/s, but thepercentage error is too high and becomes 56%. What am I doingwrong? Please show work, thank you!
