AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem of the collision between cart A and cart B, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the masses and initial velocities - Mass of cart A (M_A) = 50 kg - Mass of cart B (M_B) = 20 kg - Initial velocity of cart A (U_A) = 20 km/h (positive direction) - Initial velocity of cart B (U_B) = -10 km/h (negative direction, since it's moving towards cart A) ...
