A constant rightward force (F) is exerted for a short time interval (t) on a cart that is initially at rest on an air track. This gives the cart a certain final velocity, vf.
Suppose we begin with a cart moving with the velocity vf above, and then we apply a leftward force (-F) for the same short time interval (t). What will the cart be doing after time t?
BLUE: Moves forward with twice the initial speed.
YELLOW: Moves forward with its initial speed.
PINK: Final speed is 0.
PURPLE: Cannot be determined from the information provided.
