Which trial’s cart has the greatest momentum at the bottom of the ramp?
1 answer:
The momentum of each cart is given by:
where
m is the mass of the cart
v is its velocity (at the bottom of the ramp)
To answer the problem, let's calculate the momentum of each of the 4 carts:
1)
2)
3)
4)
Therefore, the cart with greatest momentum is cart 3, so the right answer is
<span>- trial 3, because this trial has a large mass and a large velocity</span>

m is the mass of the cart
v is its velocity (at the bottom of the ramp)

Explanation:
The detailed explanation of Answer is given in the attached file.
<span>The height (h) of a triangle is 4 in. greater than twice its base (x): h = 2x + 4
</span>The area of the triangle is no more than 168 in.2: A ≤ 168 in²
The area of the triangle is A = x*h/2
Hence x*h/2 ≤ 168 in²
Substitute h in the formula for the area:
h = 2x + 4 = 2(x + 2)
x*h/2 ≤ 168 in²
x * 2(x + 2)/2 ≤ 168
x * (x + 2) ≤ 168
x² + 2x ≤ 168
x² + 2x - 168 ≤ 0
Using the formula for quadratic equation:
