Two lab carts are pushed together with a spring mechanism compressed between them. Upon release, the 5.0 kg cart repels one way with a velocity of 0.12 m/s. The 2.0 kg cart goes the other way. At what velocity does it travel?

V = -0.3 m/sec.

The -ve sign shows it moves in the opposite direction.

while driving a vehicle the engine generates force on the driving wheels
