A truck of mass M is at rest on a frictionless road. When a monkey of mass m starts moving on the truck in forward direction, the truck recoils with a speed v backward on the road, with what velocity is the monkey moving with respect to truck?
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
CHECK THE SOLUTION.
Sol. P i = 0
P f = – mv m + M × v ∴ P i = P f
v m = 
v app = v m + v =
