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>
