A man (weighing 763 N) stands on a long railroad flatcar (weighing 3513 N) as it rolls at 19.8 m/s in the positive direction of

an x axis, with negligible friction. Then the man runs along the flatcar in the negative x direction at 4.68 m/s relative to the flatcar. What is the resulting increase in the speed of the flatcar?

Answer:

0.8m/s

Explanation:

Weight of mas,F=763 N

Mass of man= $\frac{F}{g}=\frac{763}{9.8}=77.86 kg$

By using $g=9.8m/s^2$

Weight of flatcar=F'=3513 N

Mass of flatcar= $\frac{3513}{9.8}=358.5 Kg$

Total mass of the system=Mass of man+mass of flatcar=77.86+358.5=436.36 kg

Velocity of system=19.8m/s

Let v be the velocity of flatcar with respect to ground

Velocity of man relative to the flatcar= $-4.68m/s$

Final velocity of man with respect to ground=v-4.68

By using law of conservation of momentum

Initial momentum=Momentum of car+momentum of flatcar

$436.36(19.8)=77.86(v-4.68)+358.5v$

$8639.928=77.86v-364.3848+358.5v$

$8639.928+364.3848=436.36 v$

$9004.3128=436.36v$

$v=\frac{9004.3128}{436.36}$

$v=20.6 m/s$

Initial speed of flatcar=Speed of system

Increase in speed=Final speed-initial speed=20.6-19.8=0.8m/s

A 800hz tuning fork is vibrating, producing a sound wave in the air.

blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

The frequency of the sound wave is 800Hz

The speed of sound in a is about 340m/s.

Velocity = frequency x wavelength

making wavelength the subject formula

wavelength = Velocity/frequency.

wavelength = 340/800

wavelength = 0.425m.

Importance of choke coil?<br><br>

Verdich [7]

Answer:The choke coil works because it can act as an inductor. When the current pass through will change as AC currents creates a magnetic field in the coil that works against that current. This is known as inductance and blocks most of the AC current from passing through.

A closed cylinder with a 0.15-m radius ends is in a uniform electric field of 300 n/c, perpendicular to the ends. the total flux

bixtya [17]

The total flux through the cylinder is zero.

In fact, the electric flux through a surface (for a uniform electric field) is given by:

$\Phi = E A \cos \theta$

where

E is the intensity of the electric field

A is the surface

$\theta$ is the angle between the direction of E and the perpendicular to the surface, whose direction is always outwards of the surface.

We can ignore the lateral surface of the cylinder, since the electric field is parallel to it, therefore the flux through the lateral surface of the cylinder is zero (because $\theta=90^{\circ}$ and $\cos \theta=0$ ).

On the other two surfaces, the flux is equal and with opposite sign. In fact, on the first surface the flux will be

$\Phi_1 = E \pi r^2$

where r is the radius, and where we have taken $\theta=0^{\circ}$ since the perpendicular to the surface is parallel to the direction of the electric field, so $\cos \theta=1$ . On the second surface, however, the perpendicular to the surface is opposite to the electric field, so $\theta=180^{\circ}$ and $\cos \theta=-1$ , therefore the flux is

$\Phi_2 = -E \pi r^2$

And the net flux through the cylinder is

$\Phi = \Phi_1 + \Phi_2 = E \pi r^2 - E \pi r^2=0$

A house is lifted from its foundations onto a truck for relocation. The house is pulled upward by a net force of 2850 N. This fo

Gwar [14]

Answer:

m = 95000 kg

Explanation:

Given that,

Net force acting on the house, F = 2850 N

Initial speed, u = 0

Final speed, v = 15 cm/s = 0.15 m/s

We need to find the mass of the house. Let the mass be m. We know that the net force is given by :

F = ma

Where

a is the acceleration of the house.

So,

$F=m\dfrac{v-u}{t}\\\\m=\dfrac{Ft}{(v-u)}\\\\m=\dfrac{2850\times 5}{(0.15-0)}\\\\m=95000\ kg$

So, the mass of the house is equal to 95000 kg.
