A trolley of mass 300 kg carrying a sandbag of 25 kg is moving uniformly with a speed of 27 km//h on a frictionless track. After a while, sand starts leaking out of a hole on the floor of the trolley at the rate of 0.05 kg s^-1 . What is the speed of the trolley after the entire sand bag is empty ?

A trolley of mass 200 kg moves with a uniform speed of 36 km//h on a frictionless track. A child of mass 20 kg runs on the trolley from one end to the other (10 m away) with a speed of 4 m s^-1 relative to the trolley in a direction opposite to the its motion, and jumps out of the trolley. What is the final speed of the trolley ? How much has the trolley moved from the time the child begins to run ?

One end of a string of length t is connected to a particle of mass m and the other to a small peg on a smooth horizontal table.
