Question

a girl of mass 40 kg jumps with a velocity of 5ms on a stationary cart with friction less wheels the mass of cart is 3 kg what is the velocity of girl as the cart start moving ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Given : M

girl

=40 kg u

girl

=5 m/s M

cart

=3 kg

Initial velocity of cart u

cart

=0

Let the final velocity of cart be V.

Applying conservation of linear momentum : P

i

=P

f

Or M

girl

u

girl

+M

cart

u

cart

=(M

girl

+M

cart

)V

Or 40×5+3×0=(40+3)V

⟹ V=

43

200

m/s
