11. Momentum & Impulse Completely Inelastic Collisions
18PRACTICE PROBLEM
A cricket ball (m = 176g) is moving to the right with an initial speed of v0. It collides with and sticks to a 1.8 kg stationary cart. Assuming the track is frictionless, what is the velocity of the cart after the collision?
Hint: Use the principle of conservation of momentum to solve the problem.
