A man of50 kgis standing at one end on a boat of length25 mand mass200 kg. If he starts running and reaches the other end, he has a speed2 m s-1with respect to the boat. The final speed of the boat is ( inm s-1)

Options:

Answer:
A
Solution:

Letvbe the speed of the boat with respect to the water, then from conservation of linear momentum.

-200+50v+50×2=50×0+200×0

250v=-100

v=-100250=-25 m s-1
