A running man has half the KE that a body of half his mass has. The man speeds up by `1.0ms^(-1)` and then has the same energy as the boy. What were the original speeds of the man and the boy?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we will start by defining the variables and using the kinetic energy formula. The kinetic energy (KE) of an object is given by the formula: \[ KE = \frac{1}{2} mv^2 \] where \( m \) is the mass and \( v \) is the velocity. ### Step 1: Define the Variables Let: ...

A man who is running has half the kinetic energy of a boy of half his mass. The man speeds up by 1 ms^(-1) and then has the same kinetic energy as the boy. The original speed of the boy was:

A running man has the same kinetic energy as that of a boy of half his mass. The man speed up by 2 ms^(-1) and the body changes his speed by x ms^(-1) so that the kinetic energies of the boy and the man are again equal. Then x in ms^(-1) is
