Use a ballistic cart to shoot a small ball into the air. Push the cart along a track, allowing it

to release the ball. What explains why the cart always catches the ball, and the ball doesn't

fall behind the moving cart?


Answer :

Answer:

Explained below.

Explanation:

The ball doesn't fall behind the moving cart because the horizontal motion of the ballistic cart is not affected by the forces that act in the vertical direction. Therefore, when the cart is pushed, it means that the ball will shoot up and then it will land right back in the barrel.
