Question

A boat of mass 1000 kg is moving with a
velocity of 5 m/s. A person of mass 60 kg jumps
into the boat. The velocity of the boat with the
person will be​

Answer 1

Answer:

0.35m/s

Explanation:

As there is no external force applied, momentum of system will remain conserved.

Initial momentum = final momentum

⇒ (5)(14)=(140+60)(V), finally system (boat + person) will move with velocity V.

This gives V=0.35m/s.
