Momentum is conserved, if the ham is thrown from front or back and the wheels are frictionless and have zero moment of intertia. The answer depends upon the direction from which the ham is thrown. If the ham is thrown from the side, the wheels will apply a lateral force and momentum will not be conserved, but the cart may tip over.
This is a poorly defined problem.
