$A$ truck of mass $M$ is at rest on a frictionless road when a monkey of mass $m$ starts moving on the truck in the forward direction. If the truck recoils with a speed $v$ backward on the road,with what velocity is the monkey moving with respect to the truck?

  • A
    $\left( 1 + \frac{M}{m} \right) v$
  • B
    $\left( 1 + \frac{m}{M} \right) v$
  • C
    $\frac{Mv}{m}$
  • D
    $\frac{mv}{M}$

Consider the following statements $A$ and $B$ and identify the correct answer:
$A$. When a person walks on a rough surface,the direction of the frictional force exerted by the surface on the person is in the same direction as his motion.
$B$. When a cycle is in motion,the force of friction exerted by the ground on the front wheel is in the backward direction.

State whether the following statements are true or false:
$(a)$ Momentum and the change in momentum are always in the same direction.
