The equation 
(option 3) represents the horizontal momentum of a 15 kg lab cart moving with a constant velocity, v, and that continues moving after a 2 kg object is dropped into it.
The horizontal momentum is given by:
Where:
- m₁: is the mass of the lab cart = 15 kg
- m₂: is the <em>mass </em>of the object dropped = 2 kg
: is the initial velocity of the<em> lab cart </em>
: is the <em>initial velocit</em>y of the <em>object </em>= 0 (it is dropped)
: is the final velocity of the<em> lab cart </em>
: is the <em>final velocity</em> of the <em>object </em>
Then, the horizontal momentum is:
When the object is dropped into the lab cart, the final velocity of the lab cart and the object <u>will be the same</u>, so:
Therefore, the equation represents the horizontal momentum (option 3).

Answer:
Explanation:
We know that Impulse = force x time
impulse = change in momentum
change in momentum = force x time
Force F = .285 t -.46t²
Since force is variable
change in momentum = ∫ F dt where F is force
= ∫ .285ti - .46t²j dt
= .285 t² / 2i - .46 t³ / 3 j
When t = 1.9
change in momentum = .285 x 1.9² /2 i - .46 x 1.9³ / 3 j
= .514i - 1.05 j
final momentum
= - 3.1 i + 3.9j +.514i - 1.05j
= - 2.586 i + 2.85j
x component = - 2.586
y component = 2.85
A). Both the energy and the wave travel in the same direction.
If they didn't, they'd wind up in different cities almost instantly.
First law of motion<span>- sometimes referred to as the </span>law<span> of inertia. An object at rest stays at rest and an object in </span>motion<span> stays in </span>motion<span> with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.</span>
