Calculate the momentum and kinetic energy of the cart before and after an inelastic collision. In your calculations, be sure to explicitly state the equations you use and what values you will be substituting to calculate the final value.

Initial velocity,  u = 4.9 m/sfinal velocity = v m/sinitial height,  h₁ =  245 m    final height, h₂ = 0a = -9.8  m/s²time taken = t secondss = ut + 0.5at²⇒  (h₂-h₁) = ut + 0.5at²⇒  0-245 = 4.9t + 0.5×(-9.8)×t²⇒ -245 = 4.9t - 4.9t²⇒ 4.9t² -4.9t -245 =0solving it, we get   t = 7.59sv  = u +  at = 4.9 -9.8×7.59 = 4.9 - 74.38 = -69.48 m/svelocity is  69.48 m/s downward
