A man of 60 kg is running on the road and suddenly jumps into a stationary trolly car of mass 120 kg . Then the trolly car starts moving with velocity 2 m s - 1 . The velocity of the running man was _____ m s - 1 , when he jumps into the car.
Correct answer
0
Step-by-step solution
Applying conservation of the momentum, m m u = m m + m t v ⇒ 60 u = 60 + 120 × 2 ⇒ u = 6   m   s - 1
