CBSE Class 9 Answered
A girl of mass 40 kg jumps with a horizontal velocity of 5m/s onto a stationary cart with frictionless wheels.The mass of the cart is 3 kg.What is her velocity as the cart starts moving?Assume that there is no external unbalnaced force working in the horizontal direction.

Expert Answer
we need to apply momentum conservation to get the final speed of girl who jumped on the cart
Initial momentum = mass of girl × intial horizontal speed = 40 × 5 = 200 kg m/s
Momentum of girl and cart after jumping = ( 40 +3 ) × v kg m/s
where v is the final speed of cart+Girl after jumping.
By conservation of momentum, ( 40 +3 ) × v = 200 or v = ( 200 / 43 ) m/s = 4.65 m/s
