A man weighing 60kg runs along the rails with a velocity of 18km/h and jumps into a car of mass 1 quintal standing on the rails. Calculate the velocity with which the car will start travelling along the rails.

Laws of Motion topics include: Forces, gravity and its effects, friction and forces and motion in a plane. Newton's laws of motion are: First law: An object will not change its motion unless a force acts on it. This is also known as the law of inertia. Second law: The force on an object is equal to its mass times its acceleration. Third law: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. This is also known as the law of action and reaction.  Newton's laws of motion can help us understand how things move. For example, the second law explains why it takes less force to move a...

Newton's laws of motion are:
First law: An object will not change its motion unless a force acts on it. This is also known as the law of inertia.
Second law: The force on an object is equal to its mass times its acceleration.
Third law: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. This is also known as the law of action and reaction. 

Newton's laws of motion can help us understand how things move. For example, the second law explains why it takes less force to move a bike forward than a car. The third law explains why a ball bounces when thrown against a wall.
