I am a competitive figure skater.  There are certain turns you can use such as a mowhawk, where you set one foot down that is facing the opposite direction from which you are gliding.  There is a two foot turn, where you either go on or toes and turn backwards, or lean somewhat on your heals and turn forwards.  Use your hips to help turn.  And a 3 turn, which is basically a 2 foot turn on 1 foot.  But remember, it takes practice, and you may fall a couple times.

A ball, which has a mass of 1.25 kg, is thrown straight up from the top of a building 225 meters tall with a velocity of 52.0 m/
Elena-2011 [213]

First we will find the speed of the ball just before it will hit the floor

so in order to find the speed of the cart we will first use energy conservation

KE_i + PE_i = KE_f + PE_f

\frac{1}{2}mv_i^2 + mgh = \frac{1}{2}mv_f^2 + 0

\frac{1}{2}(1.25)(52)^2 + 1.25(9.8)(225) = \frac{1}{2}(1.25)v_f^2

So by solving above equation we will have

v_f = 84.3 m/s

now in order to find the momentum we can use

P = mv

P = 1.25 \times 84.3

P = 105.4 kg m/s
