Question 6.19:
A trolley of mass 300 kg carrying a sandbag of 25 kg is moving uniformly with a speed of 27 km/h on a frictionless track. After a while, the sand starts leaking out of a hole on the floor of the trolley at the rate of 0.05 kg . What is the speed of the trolley after the entire sandbag is empty?
The system of trolley and sandbag is moving with a uniform speed. Clearly, the system is not being acted upon by an external force. If the sand leaks out, even when no external force acts. So there shall be no change in the speed of the trolley.
