A wagon is rolling forward on level ground. Friction is negligible. The person sitting in the
wagon is holding a rock. The total mass of the wagon, rider, and rock is 95.7 kg. The mass of the
rock is 0.292 kg. Initially the wagon is rolling forward at a speed of 0.483 m/s. Then the person
throws the rock with a speed of 15.9 m/s. Both speeds are relative to the ground. Find the speed
of the wagon after the rock is thrown (a) directly forward in one case and (b) directly backward
in another.
Solution
sol:
The total momentum (P) before he throws the rock must equal momentum (P) after he throws the
rock. Momentum is mass * velocity (or mv)
a) directly forward
Intial P = Final P
mv = mv + mv
(95.7 kg)*(0.483 m/s) = (0.292 kg.)(15.9 m/s) + (95.7 kg - 0.292 kg)(v of wagon)
solving above equation we get velocity of wagon is 0.435 m/s
b) directly backward
Intial P = Final P
mv = mv + mv
(95.7 kg)*(0.483 m/s) = (0.292 kg.)(-15.9 m/s) + (95.7 kg - 0.292 kg)(v of wagon)
solving above equation we get velocity of wagon is 0.533 m/s
