Homework Statement
A man is standing on a cart of mass double the mass of man. mass of the man is m. initially the cart is at rest on a smooth ground. now, the man jumps w/ velocity v horizontally towards right wrt the cart. find the work done by the man during the process of jumping.
Homework Equations
W = Change in kinetic energy
Initial momentum = Final momentum
The Attempt at a Solution
I calculated the change in kinetic energy and equated it to the work done, but I'm not able to get the right answer, which is mv^2/3.
