So, my physics teacher started this Edmodo thing, and we get problems to do online almost everyday. So, if someone could help me if I needed some, it would be great. Thanks. 10-12-10 Two carts are tied together with a compressed spring between them. Cart A has a mass of 4.5 kg. When the string is cut, cart A accelerates at 2.75 m/s^2 while cart B accelerates in the opposite direction at 4.25 m/s^2. What is the mass of cart B? My attempt: Mass a = 4.5kg Velocity a = 2.75 m/s^2 Velocity b = 4.25 m/s^2 I don't get what compressed spring means. Oh do I use the netforce = ma?
