A 5 kg cart moving at 2 m/s hits a stationary 5 kg cart. The two move off together at 1 m/s. Paula contends, momentum is conserved in this collision because the momentum of the system has the same value before and after the collision. Lillian counters, the momentum of the system before the collision is 10 kg*m/s, not zero, so momentum is not conserved, As a momexpert, you should...

Agree entirely with Paula; Lillians argument is irrelevant
