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. If the particle moves in a circle with speed v the net force on the particle (directed towards the centre) is : T is the tension in the string. [Choose the correct alternative].

On a long horizontally moving belt (Fig. 3.26), a child runs to and fro with a speed 9 km h^-1 (with respect to the belt) between his father and mother located 50 m apart on the moving belt. The belt moves with a speed of 4 km h^-1 . For an observer on a stationary platform outside, what is the:- speed of the child running opposite to the direction of motion of the belt ?
