A wagon weighing $1000\, kg$ is moving with a velocity $50\,km/h$ on smooth horizontal rails. A mass of $250 \,kg$ is dropped into it. The velocity with which it moves now is ......... $km/hour$
According to principle of conservation of linear momentum
$1000\;\, \times 50 = 1250\,\; \times v$$⇒$ $v = 40\,km/hr$
