$A$ spring is compressed between two toy carts of mass $m_1$ and $m_2$. When the toy carts are released,the spring exerts equal and opposite average forces for the same time on each toy cart. If $v_1$ and $v_2$ are the velocities of the toy carts and there is no friction between the toy carts and the ground,then :

  • A
    $v_1 / v_2 = m_1 / m_2$
  • B
    $v_1 / v_2 = m_2 / m_1$
  • C
    $v_1 / v_2 = -m_2 / m_1$
  • D
    $v_1 / v_2 = -m_1 / m_2$
