A car of mass M is movin with a uniform velocity `upsilon` on a horizontal road when the hero of a Hindi film drops himself on it from above. Taking the mass of the hero to bem what will be the velocity of thecar after the event?

Verified by Experts

Consier the car plus the hero s the system. IN the horizontla direction, thee is no exterN/Al fore. Since the hero has fallen vertically, so his initial horizontal momentum=0
Initila horizontla momentum of the system =Mv towards right.
FiN/Ally hte heor sticks of to the roof of the car so they move with equal horizontal velocity say V. FiN/Al horizontal momentum of teh system
`=(M+m)V`
`Hence, Mv=(M+m)V`
or, V=(Mv)/M+m`
