Question

A 50.0 kg boy runs at a velocity of 10.0 m/s to the right and jumps onto a cart as shown in the figure. The cart is initially moving to the left at 2.0 m/s. If the velocity of the cart with the boy on it is 2.5 m/s to the right, what is the mass of the cart?

Step 1

0 kg - Velocity of the boy before jumping (v_boy_initial) = 10.0 m/s to the right - Velocity of the cart before jumping (v_cart_initial) = 2.0 m/s to the left - Velocity of the cart with the boy on it after jumping (v_cart_final) = 2.5 m/s to the right Show more…
