How to prevent falling mobs stopping my collection minecart in its tracks?
I built a mob farm, and the collection basin looks like this:
Usually, I have the minecart running around and collecting the items that fall. The items are then collected by the hoppers under the track (they are kinda hard to see). However, I've noticed that the cart is being stopped right in its tracks. After looking there for a while, I discovered that a mob falls and happens to be right in front of the cart, and stops it! Is there any way I can prevent this? Maybe using a chest minecart instead of a hopper minecart?

Do minecarts prevent fall damage?
After rolling off of the end of a track, a minecart can be pushed around on open blocks. If a minecart is pushed onto or falls onto tracks, it "snaps" to those tracks. When riding a minecart, if the minecart lands on a rail, the player does not take any fall damage.Do mobs in minecarts take fall damage?
Description. If an animal (in my case a cow) is riding in a minecart, and the minecart is dropped into water (in my case, ~20 blocks of ocean) - the mob will take falling damage as if they fell outside a minecart, while falling through air.Minecraft : Major Rail Problems!!!!! \
