Sticky Collision (Both Moving)
Position vs Time Velocity vs Time
Since we are trying to prove the effects of momentum on these carts, the motion of the carts helps us do that. The speed of the moving cart is significantly higher before the collision than after it.

0.35m/s * 0.250kg + 0m/s * 0.250kg =
Total momentum initially 0.13kg x m/s 0.20m/s * 0.250kg + 0.20m/s * 0.250kg = Total Final Momentum: 0..09kg*m/s (0.09 - 0.13)/0.13 = 30% error
