The animation portrays the collision between a 1.0-kg cart and a 2-kg dropped brick. It will be assumed that there are no net external forces acting upon the two objects involved in the collision. The only net force acting upon the two objects are internal forces- the force of friction between the cart and the dropped brick. The before and after collision velocities and momentum are shown in the data tables.
