Question

A car (open at the top) of mass 9.75 kg is coasting along a level track at 1.36 m/s, when it begins to rain hard. The raindrops fall vertically with respect to the ground. When it has collected 0.5 kg of rain, the speed of the car is
  1. 0.68 m/s
  2. 1.29 m/s
  3. 2.48 m/s
  4. 9.8 m/s

A
9.8 m/s
B
1.29 m/s
C
0.68 m/s
D
2.48 m/s
Solution
Verified by Toppr

Initial m1=9.75 kg
final m=9.75+0.5=10.25
m1v1=m2v2
(9.75)(1.36)=(10.25)v2
v2=1.29 m/s
