We know that speed is a scalar unit while velocity is a vector. The signs are mostly concerned with the magnitude that the car should travel in, the direction is not as important.
Hope I helped :)
Unbalanced forces is what they are called
Answer:

Explanation:
The motion of ballistic pendulum is modelled by the appropriate use of the Principle of Energy Conservation:

The final velocity of the system formed by the ballistic pendulum and the bullet is:



Initial velocity of the bullet can be calculated from the expression derived of the Principle of Momentum:
