Consider two carts, of masses m and 2m, at rest on an air track. If you push first one cart for 3 s and then the other for the same length of time, exerting equal force on each, the kinetic
energy of the light cart is
BLUE: larger than
YELLOW: equal to
GREEN: smaller than
the kinetic energy of the heavy car.
