A25 kg child runs at a speed of 5.0 m/s and jumps onto a stationary shopping cart and holds on for dear life. the cart has mass 12 kg. assuming the child rides on the cart after the collision, find the speed of the child and shopping cart just after the child jumps on. show all work

3.38 m/s

Explanation:

Mass of child = m₁ = 25

Initial speed of child = u₁ = 5 m/s

Initial speed of cart = u₂ = 0 m/s

Mass of cart = m₂ = 12 kg

Velocity of cart with child on top = v

This is a case of perfectly inelastic collision

Velocity of cart with child on top is 3.38 m/s

the five characteristics of adolescence are biological growth and development, and undefined status, increased decision making, increased pressure and the search of self.

because if the tool that you are using is not balanced it there would be false mass.
