A ramp of mass M=5M=5 kg is at rest on a horizontal surface. A small cart of mass m=1m=1 kg is placed at the top of the ramp (at a height h=3h=3 m) and released. What are the velocities of the ramp and the cart relative to the ground at the instant the cart leaves the ramp?   vc =       m/s vr=         m/s
