According to the Law of Conservation of Momentum, when two objects collide:

• both objects lose momentum.

• both objects gain momentum

• momentum is neither lost nor gained.

• momentum is always lost or gainer.

Two stationary carts are tied together by a thread with a compressed spring held between them. When the

thread is cut, the two carts move apart. After the spring is released, one cart m=3.00kg travels east with

a velocity of 0.82 m/s. What is the velocity of the second cart m=1.70kg after the spring is released?

• -3.80 m/s

• -1.20 m/s

• -2.75 m/s

• -1.45 m/s
