After the 1st turn:
pPipe = 4000Ns
pMass = -4000Ns
pTotal = 0


did you follow what I did on the applet you posted?
https://www.msu.edu/~brechtjo/physics/airTrack/airTrack.html

set the red cart mass to 5 kg , initial velocity to 40 m/s
set the blue cart mass to 1000 kg , initial velocity to -4 m/s

set elasticity to m1 = m2 elastic
the results are as follows.

the red cart -47.56 m/s
the blue cart -3.56 m/s

the red cart ( 5 kg mass ) accelerates from 40 m/s to -47.56 m/s

the blue cart (pipe / rails) do not stop they only slow down.
to -3.56 m/s from -4 m/s

you must be capable of thinking about using the
42 rail and mass sets and the 20 masses accelerating as described above.

for us to continue.

Isn't this supposed to work with just one mass? Stick to 1 mass until you clearly acknowledge that it cannot work at all with just one mass.


heres an example.

you have a water pail that has a small hole in it at its bottom.

you want to carry 1 oz of water for a distance of 399 meters.
the pail can initially hold 400 oz of water.

but the small hole leaks 1 oz per second.

you have the ability to run 1 meter per second so you can make it the distance of 399 meters and still have 1 oz of water remaining in the water pail.

but if you only put 1 oz of water in the pail you will never achieve your goal.
