. A man weighing 60 kg runs along the rails with a velocity of 18 km/h and jumps into a car of mass 1 quintal standing on the rails
Calculate the velocity with which car will start travelling along the rails (1 quintal = 100 kg).
Best Answer
Ans:
After the man jumps into the car, let their common velocity be v.
Applying the principle of conservation of momentum,
total momentum after jump = total momentum before jump
