Top View Cart A is traveling east when it collides with cart B which is traveling north Cart A has a mass of 3 05 kg and eart B has a mass of 2 10 kg The two carts travel together as a single object on a horizontal surface at an angle relative to due east as shown above 13 In one trial the initial speed of cart A is 2 5 m s and the initial speed of cart B is 1 5 m s The angle relative to east that the carts travel after the collision is most nearly B 36 C 45 E 62 14 In another trial the speed of the earts immediately after the collision is 0 60 m s and the earts slide 0 24 m on the horizontal surface before coming to rest The coefficient of kinetic friction between the sliding carts and the surface is most nearly A 0 08 B 0 13 C 0 19
