A four-wheel cart of mass M = 95 kg is moving along a horizontal surface with a constant velocity V = 3.5 m/s relative to the ground. A person of mass m1 = 65 kg carrying a backpack of m2 = 8 kg runs and catches up to the cart, and then jumps onto the cart. Just before landing on the cart, the person is moving parallel to the ground and the velocity of the center of mass of the...
