Answer:
E. The momentum of the car-truck system is conserved, but the momentum of each one separately is not conserved.
Explanation:
The vertical components of velocity is 10.35 m/s and the horizontal component of velocity is 38.6 m/s
<h3>What are the components of velocity?</h3>
We know that velocity is a vector quantity, a vector often can be resolved into its components. The vertical components is V sinθ while the horizontal component is vcosθ.
Hence;
Vertical component = 40 m/s sin 15 degrees = 10.35 m/s
Horizontal component = 40 cos 15 degrees = 38.6 m/s
