A 3.0-kg cart is rolling across a frictionless, horizontal track toward a 1.3-kg cart that is held initially at rest. The carts are loaded with strong magnets that cause them to attract one another. Thus, the speed of each cart increases. At a certain instant before the carts collide, the first cart's velocity is +4.6 m/s, and the second cart's velocity is −1.9 m/s.

(Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.)

(a) What is the total momentum of the system of the two carts at this instant?
kg · m/s

(b) What was the velocity of the first cart when the second cart was still at rest?
m/s
