After the collision, the first cart is observed moving away from the second at a velocity of v/2. How much impulse did the second cart transfer to the first?
Options:
•3/2mv
•2mv
•Zero, the heavier cart is stationary and has no momentum to tramsfer to the lighter one.
•Zero, the direction of impulse transfer was towards the heavy cart, not towards the light cart.
•1/2mv
