The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will use the principle of conservation of momentum. ### Step 1: Convert the given velocity from km/h to m/s The velocity of Ishan is given as \(6.75 \, \text{km/h}\). We need to convert this to meters per second (m/s) using the conversion factor: \[ 1 \, \text{km/h} = \frac{5}{18} \, \text{m/s} \] Thus, we calculate: \[ V = 6.75 \times \frac{5}{18} = 1.875 \, \text{m/s} \] ### Step 2: Convert the mass of the trolley from quintals to kilograms The mass of the trolley is given as \(0.25 \, \text{quintal}\). We know that: \[ 1 \, \text{quintal} = 100 \, \text{kg} \] Therefore, we convert the mass of the trolley: \[ \text{Mass of trolley} = 0.25 \times 100 = 25 \, \text{kg} \] ### Step 3: Apply the conservation of momentum Before Ishan jumps into the trolley, the momentum of the system is: \[ \text{Initial momentum} = \text{momentum of Ishan} + \text{momentum of trolley} \] \[ = (50 \, \text{kg} \times 1.875 \, \text{m/s}) + (25 \, \text{kg} \times 0 \, \text{m/s}) = 93.75 \, \text{kg m/s} \] After Ishan jumps into the trolley, both Ishan and the trolley move together with a common velocity \(V_f\). The total mass of the system is: \[ \text{Total mass} = 50 \, \text{kg} + 25 \, \text{kg} = 75 \, \text{kg} \] The final momentum of the system is: \[ \text{Final momentum} = \text{Total mass} \times V_f = 75 \, \text{kg} \times V_f \] ### Step 4: Set initial momentum equal to final momentum Using the conservation of momentum: \[ 93.75 \, \text{kg m/s} = 75 \, \text{kg} \times V_f \] ### Step 5: Solve for \(V_f\) Now we can solve for \(V_f\): \[ V_f = \frac{93.75 \, \text{kg m/s}}{75 \, \text{kg}} = 1.25 \, \text{m/s} \] ### Final Answer The velocity with which the trolley starts moving along the rails is: \[ \boxed{1.25 \, \text{m/s}} \]
