The correct answer to the question is : C) The horizontal momentum and the vertical momentum are both conserved.
EXPLANATION :
Before coming into any conclusion, first we have to understand the law of conservation of momentum.
As per the law of conservation of momentum, the total linear as well as angular momentum of an isolated system is always conserved . The law of conservation of energy is a universal fact.
Hence, during any type of collision, the total momentum is always conserved.
Hence, the total horizontal momentum as well as total vertical momentum are always conserved during both elastic as well as inelastic collision.

Answer:
a = - 50 [m/s²]
Explanation:
To solve this problem we simply have to replace the values supplied in the given equation.
Vf = final velocity = 0.5 [m/s]
Vi = initial velocity = 10 [m/s]
s = distance = 100 [m]
a = acceleration [m/s²]
Now replacing we have:
![(0.5)^{2}-(10)^{2} = 2*a*(100)\\0.25-10000=200*a\\200*a=-9999.75\\a =-50 [m/s^{2} ]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%280.5%29%5E%7B2%7D-%2810%29%5E%7B2%7D%20%3D%202%2Aa%2A%28100%29%5C%5C0.25-10000%3D200%2Aa%5C%5C200%2Aa%3D-9999.75%5C%5Ca%20%3D-50%20%5Bm%2Fs%5E%7B2%7D%20%5D)
The negative sign of acceleration means that the ship slows down its velocity in order to land.
Given
Car 1
m1 = 1300 kg
v1 = 20 m/s
m2 = 900 kg
v2 = -15 m/s
(Negative sign shows that direction of car 2 is opposite to car 1)
Procedure
As per the conservation of linear momentum, "The total momentum of the system before the collision must be equal to the total momentum after the collision". And this applies to the perfectly inelastic collision as well. Then the expression is,

Thus, we can conclude that the speed and direction of the cars after the impact is 5.68 m/s towards the first car.
