Question

A boy of mass 50kg running at 5 m/s jumps on to a 20kg trolley traveling in the same direction at 1.5 m/s. What is their common velocity??​

Answer 1

Answer:

hey mate

Step-by-step explanation:

Mass = 50kg

Velocity = 5m/s

Trolley

Mass = 20 kg

Velocity = 1.5 m/s

so using conservation law of momentum

MV + mv = ( M + m ) v'

50*5 + 20*1.5 = ( 50 + 20 ) v'

250 + 30 = 70 v'

280 = 70 v'

so v' = 4m/s which is their common velocity.

Hope it helps
