Dropping it on a hard surface.
You can increase the capacitance of a capacitor by decreasing the plate spacing (A) or by increasing the area of the plates (D).
'A' and 'D' both do the job, so the correct choice is<em> (E)</em> .
B) law of conservation of momentum
It states that the total momentum of a system before impact is the same as the total momentum of the system after impact.
In this case total momentum before impact:
10kg*5m/s + 5kg * 0m/s = 50 kg m/s
After Impact:
10kg*0m/s + 5kg*10m/s = 50 kg m/s
You can see the momentum before and after impact is same as 50 kg m/s
Of course we assumed that the first cart stopped after the impact, and there are no energy losses.
