First we will find the speed of the ball just before it will hit the floor
so in order to find the speed of the cart we will first use energy conservation
So by solving above equation we will have
now in order to find the momentum we can use
I’d say b is the better option because d is starving yourself which creates unhealthy habits, c would cause yo yo dieting or binging because you treat food as a reward which is a toxic mindset, and a same explanation. I wish there was an answer to just track what you eat, have daily exercise and enjoy in moderation, though.
Average Acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change)
Change in speed = (ending speed) - (starting speed)
= 15 m/s - 24 m/s = -9 m/s
Acceleration = (-9 m/s) / (12 sec) = - 0.75 m/s² .
