A student (mass = Ms) runs at initial speed vsi toward a stationary shopping cart (mass = Mc) as shown in the figure.  The student jumps onto the cart and holds on, letting the cart roll in the direction of vsi.  The final speed of student + cart immediately after the "collision" is vf. Note that Mc is the mass of the cart without the student on it.

Determine the ratio of masses, Mc/Ms for the following questions.

As there is no external force on M_(S)+M_(C) system, in horizontal direction, do, momenfum in horizontal disection remains conserned.P_(i)= in'tial momentum of system =M_(S)V_(si)+M_(c)V_(Ci)P_(f)= final momentum (ie-Just af fer collison) =(M_(s)+M_(c))v_(f)from contreination of moment P_(i)=P_(f)on, M_(s)V_(si)+M_(c)V_(c_(i))=(M_(s)+M_(c))V_(f)a. M_(s)r_(si)+0=(M_(s)+m_(c))v_(f)=>(r_(si))/(r_(f))=(M_(s)+M_(c))/(m_(c))on, quad(M ... See the full answer
