- A single 0.508 kg cart rolls down a level track. Initial velocity of 0.670 m/s and final velocity of 0.644 m/s. Time between photogate measurements was 0.726 s. Intial momentum is determined to be 0.34 kgm/s and final momentum is determined to be 0.327 kgm/s. Is momentum conserved during this experiment? If it's not, estimate the force that is transferring momentum to/from the car.arrow_forwardA car of mass 1500kg moving with a speed of 30.0 m/s collides and locks together with a 1200-kg car at rest at a stop sign.
