The two cars have same momentum
Explanation:
The momentum of an object is given by the equation
where
m is the mass of the object
v is its velocity
For the car A in this problem,
m = 5 kg
v = 10 m/s
So its momentum is
For car B we have,
m = 10 kg
v = 5 m/s
So its momentum is
Therefore, the two cars have same momentum.

Answer:
41°
Explanation:
Kinetic energy at bottom = potential energy at top
½ mv² = mgh
½ v² = gh
h = v²/(2g)
h = (2.4 m/s)² / (2 × 9.8 m/s²)
h = 0.294 m
The pendulum rises to a height of above the bottom. To determine the angle, we need to use trigonometry (see attached diagram).
L − h = L cos θ
cos θ = (L − h) / L
cos θ = (1.2 − 0.294) / 1.2
θ = 41.0°
Rounded to two significant figures, the pendulum makes a maximum angle of 41° with the vertical.
