A man who is running has half the kinetic energy of a boy of half his mass. The man speeds up by \(1 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}\) and then has the same kinetic energy as the boy. The initial speed of the boy is

  1. A \(\sqrt{2}+1 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}\)
  2. B \(2(\sqrt{2}+1) \mathrm{ms}^{-1}\)
  3. C \(\sqrt{2} \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}\)
  4. D \(2 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(2(\sqrt{2}+1) \mathrm{ms}^{-1}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

According to the question, let the mass of man be \(m\). So, mass of boy is \(\frac{m}{2}\). Let speed of man be \(v_1\) and that of boy be \(v_2\). \(\therefore\) Kinetic energy of man \(=\frac{1}{2}\) kinetic energy of boy or…
