1. An object is thrown up 420 away from the ground and lands after 10 seconds, 2. The car with mass m moves forward on a smooth horizontal plane with speed V1. There is a man with mass m on it. He asks how fast the car is when the man jumps backward and horizontally from the speed V2 of the car, This involves the relative speed, I think people's speed should be (V1 - V2) But the answer is (v-v2). He sets V to make the speed of the car after jumping. I think the speed can't change suddenly. It should be v1. Why
Although the process of jumping is not instantaneous, the change of car speed is not a sudden action, that is, a sudden change. It accelerates to V after the whole process (let v be the speed of the car relative to the ground after jumping). And does the sudden change not affect the whole problem? The conservation of momentum in horizontal direction
