    After collison they stick together and have same velocity Vf From the momentum conservation, (m1 + m2) Vf = m1v1 + m2v2 Second is moving with half of first cart speed, (m1 + m2) Vf = m1v + m2v / 2 2 (m1 + m2) Vf = (2m1v + m2v) = >Vf = ((2m1 + m2) v) / 2 (m1 + m2) Identical carts so m1 = m2 = m vf = 3mv / 4m = > Vf = 3v / 4
