The 15-kg suitcase A has been propped up against one end of a 40-kg luggage carrier B and is prevented from sliding down by other luggage. When the luggage is unloaded and the last heavy trunk is removed from the carrier, the suitcase is free to slide down, causing the 40-kg carrier to move to the left with a velocity vB of magnitude 0.8 m/s. Neglecting friction, draw impulse-momentum diagrams that could be used to determine (a) the velocity of A as it rolls on the carrier and (b) the velocity of the carrier after the suitcase hits the right side of the carrier without bouncing back.
