Question : 19
Total: 30
A trolley of mass 300 kg carrying a sandbag of 25 kg is moving uniformly with a speed of 27 km/h on a frictionless track. After a while, sand starts leaking out of a hole on the floor of the trolley at the rate of 0.05 kg s – 1 . What is the speed of thetrolley after the entire sand bag is empty?
Solution:
The trolley carrying a sand bag is moving with uniform speed of 27 km h – 1 . Therefore external force on the system (trolley + sand) is zero.
When the sand leaks out of a hole on trolley’s floor, it does not lead to the application of any external force on the trolley. So, the speed of the trolley will not change.
