A toboggan having a mass of 10 kg starts from rest at A and carries a girl and boy having a mass of 40 kg and 45 kg, respectivel

y. When the toboggan reaches the bottom of the slope at B, the boy is pushed off from the back with a horizontal velocity of vb>t = 2 m>s, measured relative to the toboggan. Determine the velocity of the toboggan afterwards. Neglect friction in the calculation.

Answer:

The velocity of the toboggan is 7.51 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of toboggan = 10 kg

Mass of girl =40 kg

Mass of boy = 45 kg

Velocity = 2 m/s

Suppose that h = 3.2 m

We need to calculate the velocity

Using conservation of energy

K.E_{1}+P.E_{1}=K.E_{2}+P.E_{2}

\dfrac{1}{2}(m_{t}+m_{g}+m_{b})v^2+(m_{t}+m_{g}+m_{b})gh=\dfrac{1}{2}(m_{t}+m_{g}+m_{b})v^2+0

Put the value into the formula

0+(10+40+45)\times9.8\times3.2=\dfrac{1}{2}(10+45+40)v^2

v^2=\dfrac{95\times9.8\times3.2\times2}{95}

v=\sqrt{62.72}\ m/s

v=7.91\ m/s

The velocity of boy is

v_{b/t}=v_{t}-v_{b}

v_{b}=v_{t}-2

We need to calculate the velocity of the toboggan

Using principle of momentum

(m_{t}+m_{g}+m_{b})v=(m_{t}+m_{g})v_{t}+m_{b}v_{b}

Put the value into the formula

(10+40+45)\times7.91=(10+45)\times v_{t}+45\times(v_{t}-2)

751.45=55v_{t}+45v_{t}-90

751.45+90=130v_{t}

v_{t}=\dfrac{751.45}{100}

v_{t}=7.51\ m/s

Hence, The velocity of the toboggan is 7.51 m/s.
