A boy of mass 25 kg stands on a board of maas 10 kg which in turn is kept on a frictionless horizontal ice surface. The boy maks a jump with a velocity component 5m/s in a horizontal direction with respect to the ice. With what velocity does the board recoil? with what rate are tehboy and theboard separting from each other? |

Answer» Consider the board boy as a system. The exterN/Al forces on this system are a. weight of the system and b. normal contact force by the ice surface. Both these force are vertical and there is no exterN/Al force in horizontal directio. The horizontal component of linear momentum of the board+boy system is therefore constant. If the board redcoils at a speed v `0=(25kg)xx(5m/s)-(10kg)v` or, `v=12.5m/s` The boy and the board are separating wilth a rate `5m/s+12.5m/s=17.5m/s` |
