Problem

Two identical carts glide without friction on a straight track. Cart A moves to the right at 0.60 m/s0.60\,\text{m/s}, while cart B moves to the left at 0.60 m/s0.60\,\text{m/s}. Using the positive x-direction to the right, describe the net linear momentum of the two-cart system and briefly explain your reasoning.
