4-1.Newton's Laws of Motion
normal
A man of mass $m_1$ is standing on a platform of mass $m_2$ kept on a smooth horizontal surface. If the man starts moving on the platform with a velocity $v$ relative to the platform, then recoil velocity of platform is
A
$\frac{m_2v}{m_1+m_2}$
B
$\frac{m_1v}{m_1+m_2}$
C
$\frac{(m_1 + m_2)v}{m_1}$
D
$\frac{(m_1 + m_2)v}{m_2}$
Solution
$\mathrm{p}_{\mathrm{i}}=\mathrm{p}_{\mathrm{f}}$
$o=\mathrm{m}_{1}\left(\mathrm{v}-\mathrm{v}^{\prime}\right)-\mathrm{m}_{2} \mathrm{v}^{\prime}$
$\mathrm{v}^{\prime}=\frac{\mathrm{m}_{1} \mathrm{v}}{\mathrm{m}_{1}+\mathrm{m}_{2}}$
