Two identical buggies move one after the...

Two identical buggies move one after the other due to inertia (without friction) with the same velocity `v_0`. A man of mass m rides the rear buggy. At a certain moment the man jumps into the front buggy with a velocity u relative to his buggy. Knowing that the mass of each buggy is equal to M, find the velocities with which the buggies will move after that.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
`v_(1)=v_(0)+(mMv)/(M+m)^(2),v_(2)=v_(0)_(Mv)/(M+m)`

Two identical buggies of each of mass 150 kg move one after the other friction with same velocity 4m//s . A man of mass m rides the rear buggy. At a certain moment, the man jumps into the front buggy with a velocity v relative to his buggy. As a result of this process, real boggy stops. If the sum of kinetic energies of the man and the front buggy just after collision with the from buggy differs from that just before collision by 2700 J then The velocity v of the man relartive to the buggy is

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.
