प्रश्न
A girl with having a mass of 35 kg sits on a trolley of mass 5 kg. The trolley is given an initial velocity of 4 m s–1 by applying a force. The trolley comes to rest after traversing a distance of 16 m. (a) How much work is done on the trolley? (b) How much work is done by the girl?

उत्तर
Effective mass of girl + trolley system = mass of girl + mass of trolley = 35 kg + 5 kg = 40 kg
Here, u = 4 10m s−1, v – 0, s = 16 m
Using v2 – u2= 2as, we get
a = `("v"^2 - "u"^2)/(2"s")`
= `(0 - 4^2)/(2 xx 16)`
= `(-1)/2 "m s"^-2`
∴ Force, F = ma = `40 xx ((-1)/2)"N"`
= −20N
(a) Work done on the trolley = – Work done by the trolley
= − Fs
= – (–20 N) × (16 m)
= 320 J
(b) As the girl keeps sitting on the trolley, there is no displacement in her position with respect to the trolley, so no work is done by the girl.
