A 50kg open cart is rolling to the left at a speed of 3 m/s. There is a chute for packages to slide down to land in the cart to reach their destination. A 15 kg package slides down the chute and leaves the end with a horizontal speed of 4 m/s. The end of the chute is 4 meters above the open cart. What is the speed of the package just before it hits the cart? (this is a free fall problem) b. What is the final speed of the package-cart system? (this is a collision problem) a.

You cast a pebble at 2.4 m/s at a pond from 0.8 m above ground. How fast is it when it is about to land in the pond .5 m below the ground? Hint: use mechanical energy conservation. The direction of the velocity is irrelevant. It doesn't have to travel straight up or down. Pebble's final position is negative.
