A man throws a ball of massmfrom a moving plank (A). The ball has a horizontal component of velocityu=334 m s-1with respect to ground towards another man standing on stationary plank (B), as shown in the figure. The combined mass of plankAwith man as well as that of plankBwith the other man is2meach. the x-y plane represents the horizontal plane which is frictionless. If initially, plankAwas moving with speedui^with respect to ground, then the relative velocity of plankB(inm s-1) with respect to plankA(after the man on plankBcatches the ball) minus10 m s-1is

Answer:
7.00
Solution:

By conservation of momentum,
3mui^=m(ucos37oi^+usin37oj^)+2mVA
=VA=11u10i^-3u10j^
Similarly=VB=4u15i^+3u10j^
VBA=17 m s-1
