A cart with a mass of 120 kg and a velocity

of 3.5 m/s collides with a stationary
dumpster. Both the cart and the dumpster are
free to roll in any direction. The cart and the
dumpster stick together after the collision.
What other information is needed to
determine the final momentum of the
dumpster?
