The impulse J is equal to the magnitude of the force applied to the cannonball times the time it is applied:
But the impulse is also equal to the change in momentum of the cannonball:
If we put the two equations together, we find
And since we know the magnitude of the average force and the time, we can calculate the change in momentum:
Option(a) the mass of cart 2 is twice that of the mass of cart 1 is the right answer.
The mass of cart 2 is twice that of the mass of cart 1 is correct about the mass of cart 2.
Let's demonstrate the issue using variables:
Let,
m1=mass of cart 1
m2=mass of cart 2
v1 = velocity of cart 1 before collision
v2 = velocity of cart 2 before collision
v' = velocity of the carts after collision
Using the conservation of momentum for perfectly inelastic collisions:
m1v1 + m2v2 = (m1 + m2)v'
v2 = 0 because it is stationary
v' = 1/3*v1
m1v1 = (m1+m2)(1/3)(v1)
m1 = 1/3*m1 + 1/3*m2
1/3*m2 = m1 - 1/3*m1
1/3*m2 = 2/3*m1
m2 = 2m1
From this we can conclude that the mass of cart 2 is twice that of the mass of cart 1.

Answer:
14 m/s
Explanation:
u = 0, h = 10 m, g = 9.8 m/s^2
Use third equation of motion
v^2 = u^2 + 2 g h
Here, v be the velocity of ball as it just strikes with the ground
v^2 = 0 + 2 x 9.8 x 10
v^2 = 196
v = 14 m/s
