A wheeled cart, with a mass of 10.0 kg, is passing through x = +3 m, heading in

Question

A wheeled cart, with a mass of 10.0 kg, is passing through x = +3 m, heading in the negative x direction. Because of the force applied to the cart (see the graph) the cart makes it to x = +1 m, turns around there, and then heads back in the positive x direction. a) What is the initial speed of the cart (the speed it has when it is passing through x= +3m)? b) Use KE, momentum, and impulse to calculate the following: How long does the cart take to travel from x=+3m to x=+1m? c) What is the cart's momentum when it passes through x= +5m? d) The speed the cart has when it passes through x=+4 m is the same speed it has when it passes through x=....? e) If we wanted the cart to reach x= 0 m, instead of turning around at x=+1 m, what speed should we have given it at x= +3 m?
