What is the momentum after the collision
What is the momentum of the red cart after the collision
What is the velocity of the red cart after collision

The momentum after the collision is .

The momentum of the red cart after the collision is

The velocity of the red cart after the collision is  .

Explanation:

The law of conservation of momentum says that momentum before the collision must equal the momentum after the collision; therefore, the momentum after the collision equals (which is the momentum before the collision).

After the collision, the conservation of momentum demands that

which is the velocity of the red cart after the collision.

Finally, the momentum of the red cart is after the collision is

Thus, the total momentum after the collision is  , and of the red cart is , and the velocity of the red cart after the collision is  .

answer:

a) the ball falls 43.7m from inital vertical speed u = 0 accelerating at a= 9.8m/s^2

s = ut +1/2 x a x t^2

t = sqrt(2s/a) = sqrt(2 x 43.7 / 9.8) = 2.99s

b) ball travels 114m in 2.99s before hitting the ground, speed = distance/time

speed = 114/2.99 = 38.12m/s

c) the ball has no horizontal forces acting on it (assuming no air resistance) so it remains at constant speed, therefore final horizontal speed is the same as the initial speed = 38.12m/s

d) the final vertical speed is given by:

v = u +at, where u=0, a = 9.8m/s^2, t = 2.99s

v = 9.8 x 2.99 = 29.3m/s
