MCQ
A man (mass $= 50\, kg$) and his son (mass $= 20\, kg$) are standing on a frictionless surface facing each other. The man pushes his son so that he starts moving at a speed of $0.70\, ms^{-1}$ with respect to the man. The speed of the man with respect to the surface is ........ $ms^{-1}$
  • A
    $0.47$
  • B
    $0.28$
  • C
    $0.14$
  • $0.20$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$0.20$
d
$\begin{array}{l}
 \Rightarrow 0 = 50{V_1} - 20{V_2}\,and\,{V_1} + {V_2} = 0.7\\
 \Rightarrow \,{V_1} = 0.2
\end{array}$
