Hey there!
Seems like you're looking for the size and direction to the final velocity of the two cars. To find it, you must solve it like this.
0.4 kg(3 m/s) + 0.8kg(–2 m/s) = 1.2 kg m/s -1.6 kg m/s = –0.4 kg m/s
–0.4 kg m/s = 1.2 kg(v) = (–0.4 kg m/s)/(1.2 kg) = v = –0.33 m/s
So, the cars are traveling at -0.33 m/s in the direction of the second car.
Hope this helps

Momentum is conserved when carts are collided on a slanting plane.
To find the answer, we need to know about the conversation of momentum.
<h3>What's the conversation of momentum?</h3>
- Conservation of linear momentum says the total momentum before the collision and after the collision remains the same.
- Mathematically, m1u1+m2u2 = m1v1+m2v2
<h3>How is the momentum conserved when collision occurs on a slanting plane?</h3>
- On a slanting plane, the velocity has two components,
- horizontal component
- horizontal component Vertical component
- So, its momentum has also similar two components.
- The momentum is conserved along horizontal direction and vertical direction separately.
Thus, we can conclude that the momentum is conserved when carts are collided on a slanting plane.
