Dynamics cart 1 has a mass of 0 84 kg and is initially moving at 4 2 m s right Cart 1 undergoes an elastic head on collision with dynamics cart 2 The mass of cart 2 is 0 48 kg and cart 2 is initially moving at 2 4 m s left The collision is cushioned by a spring with spring constant 8 0 3 103 N m T I a Calculate the velocity of each cart immediately after the first collision b Determine the compression of the spring during the collision at the moment when cart 1 is moving at 3 0 m s right c Determine the maximum compression of the spring
