A spring is compressed between two toy carts of mass $m_1$ and $m_2$. When the toy carts are released, the springs exert equal and opposite average forces for the same time on each toy cart. If $v_1$ and $v_2$ are the velocities of the toy carts and there is no friction between the toy carts and the ground, then :
$v_1 / v_2=m_1 / m_2$
$v_1 / v_2=m_2 / m_1$
$v _1 / v _2=- m _2 / m _1$
$v_1 / v_2=-m_1 / m_2$
If final momentum is equal to initial momentum of the system then
Explain conservation of linear momentum by suitable example.
A man (mass $= 50\, kg$) and his son (mass $= 20\, kg$) are standing on a frictionless surface facing each other. The man pushes his son so that he starts moving at a speed of $0.70\, ms^{-1}$ with respect to the man. The speed of the man with respect to the surface is ........ $ms^{-1}$
A bullet of mass $0.1\,kg$ is fired with a speed of $100\, m/sec$, the mass of gun is $50\, kg$. The velocity of recoil is ........ $m/sec$
A buggy of mass $100\, kg$ is free to move on a frictionless horizontal track. Two men, each of mass $50\, kg$, are standing on the buggy, which is initially stationary. The men jump off the buggy with velocity $=10m/s$ relative to the buggy. In one situation, the men jump one after the other. In another situation, the men jump simultaneously. What is the ratio of the recoil velocities of the buggy in two cases?
