Answer:

The momentum of the cart is:

  • [tex]p = 10[/tex] kgm/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Given that the 0.5 kg cart is loaded with three 1.5-kg bricks.

Thus,

Total mass m = 5.0 kg

Velcity v =  2.0 m/s

To determine

Momentum m =?

The momentum of the cart can be calculated using the formula

[tex]p = mv[/tex]

Here:

  • [tex]p[/tex] is the momentum
  • [tex]m[/tex] is the mass
  • [tex]v[/tex] is the velocity

substituting m = 5.0, v = 2 in the equation

[tex]p = mv[/tex]

[tex]p = (5)(2)[/tex]

[tex]p = 10[/tex] kgm/s

Therefore, the momentum of the cart is:

  • [tex]p = 10[/tex] kgm/s
