Question
A student of mass m1= 57 kg stands on a long cart of mass m2=135 kg initially at text. He begins to run in the cart with a speed relative to the ground of v1=3.3 m/s.
Randomized Varibles
M1= 57 kg
M2= 135 Kg
V1= 3.3 m/s
(A) write an expression for the horizontal component of the carts velocity relative to the ground while the student is running, in terms of the variables given in the problem statement. Assume the student is running in the positive X direction. (B)  what is the velocity in meters per second? (C) what is the horizontal component of the students velocity relative to the cart, in meters per second? Use a coordinate system fixed to the cart which has the same orientation for the X axis as a system fix to the ground we defined in part (a).
