Two persons, A of mass 60 kg and B of mass 40 kg , are standing on a horizontal platform of mass 50 kg . The platform is supported on wheels on a horizontal frictionless surface and is initially at rest. Consider the following situations. (i) Both A and B jump from the platform simultaneously and in the same horizontal direction. (ii) A jumps first in a horizontal direction and after a few seconds B also jumps in the same direction. In both the situations above, just after the jump, the person ( A or B ) moves away from the platform with a speed of 3 m//s relative to the platform and along the horizontal. In situation (i), just after both A and B jump from the platform, velocity of centre of mass of the system ( A, B and the platform) is

A particle having a mass of 10^(-2) kg carries a charge of 5 xx 10^(-8) C . The particle is given an initial horizontal velocity of 10^(5) msec^(-1) in the presence of electric field vec(E) and magnetic field vec(B) . To keep the particle moving in a horizontal direction, it is necessary that A. vec(B) should be perpendicular to the direction of velocity and vec(E) should be along the direction of velocity B. Both vec(B) and vec(E) should be along the direction of velocity C. Both vec(B) and vec(E) are mutually perpendicular and perpendicular to the direction of velocity D. vec(B) should be along the direction of velocity and vec(E) should be perpendicular to the direction of velocity
