A cart filled with sand rolls at a speed of vcart = 1.4 m/s along a horizontal path without friction. A ball of mass m = 2.3 kg is thrown with a horizontal velocity of vball = 9.8 m/s toward the cart as shown in the figure below. The ball gets stuck in the sand. What is the velocity of the cart after the ball strikes it? The mass of the cart is 11 kg. (Assume the positive x direction is to the right. Express your answer in vector form.) m/s

A cart filled with sand rolls at a speed of v cart = 1.4 m / s along a horizontal path without friction. A ball of mass m = 2.3 k g is thrown with a horizontal velocity of v ball = 9.8 m / s toward the cart as shown in the figure below. The ball gets stuck in the sand. What is the velocity of the cart after the ball strikes it? The mass of the cart is 11 k g . (Assume the positive x direction is to the right. Express your answer in vector form.) m / s v ball
