A boy with a mass of 45 kg runs towards a stationary trolley with a total mass of 30 kg. The boy then jumps on the trolley and the trolley starts to move.
a) Explain why the trolley starts to
move after the boy jumps on it.
b) Calculate the magnitude of the
velocity of the trolley after the boy jumps on it.

anyone here cold helps me to solve and explain the answer... thanks in advance

Answer:

The trolley moves because a force of exertion is pushed onto it when the boy launches himself onto it. It also moves in a direction, so velocity is applied to it.

The velocity goes from stand-still to something. Also, to find velocity, I think acceleration and time are 2 constants that are needed to find velocity, which is not present in the question.

Sorry if this is not the answer you wanted.. I just gave a basic guess as to what I think the answer is. I just started to learn physics.
