One cart with some mass Mc travels without friction on a 1-D tackat a speed of 1.75 m/s. Another cart sits at rest some distancealong the track. The two cars will collide in a perfectly elasticcollision. Calculate the final speed of each cart in the followingscenarios:

A) The stationary cart has a mass equal to that of the moving cart,Mc

B) The stationary cart has a mass equal to half that of the movingcart, .5xMc

C) The stationary cart has a mass equal to 10 times that of themoving cart, 10xMc
