Velocity of the mass center `vec(v)_(c ) = (m_("jeep")vec(v)_("jeep") + m_("car")vec(v)_("car"))/(m_("jeep") + m_("car"))`
Assuming direction of motion in the positive x-direction, we have
`vecv_c=(m_(jeep)vecv_(jeep)+m_(car)vecv_(car))/(m_(jeep)+m_(car))" "vecv_c=(2400xx80+1600xx60)/(2400+1600)=(72km)`
(b) Velocity of the jeep in centroidal frame `v_((jeep)//c)=80-72=8km/h` in positive x-direction.
Velocity of the car in centroidal frame `V_(car//c)=60-72=-(12km)/h`
`(12km)/h` negative x-direction direction.

(a) Estimate the speed with which electrons emitted from a heated emitter of an evacuated tube impinge on the collector maintained at a potential difference of 500 V with respect to the emitter. Ignore the small initial speeds of the electrons. The specific charge of the electron, i.e., its e/m is given to be 1.76 xx 10^(11) C kg^(-1) . (b) Use the same formula you employ in (a) to obtain electron speed for an collector potential of 10 MV. Do you see what is wrong ? In what way is the formula to be modified?
