The three air carts shown in Figure 9-27 have masses,
Chapter 9, Problem 84GP(choose chapter or problem)
The three air carts shown in Figure 9–27 have masses, reading from left to right, of m, 2m, and 4m, respectively. Initially, the cart on the right is at rest, whereas the other two carts are moving
to the right with a speed \(v_0\). All carts are equipped with putty bumpers that give completely inelastic collisions. (a) Find
the final speed of the carts. (b) Calculate the ratio of the final kinetic energy of the system to the initial kinetic energy.
