Example 9.7 A girl of mass 40 kg jumpswith a horizontal velocity of 5 ms ontoa stationary cart with frictionlesswheels. The mass of the cart is 3 kgWhat is her velocity as the cart startsmoving? Assume that there is noexternal unbalanced force working inthe horizontal direction. |

Answer» . we will use conservation of linear momentum initial momentum of the system is =mass of girl × velocity = 40× 5 = 200kg-m/s and when she will jump the net mass of the system will be 40+3 = 43 kg and both will have same final Velocity V so, final momentum will be 43*(V) now mi = mf => 200 = 43v => v = 200/43 = 4.65 m/s |
