A 2060 kg railroad flatcar, which can move with negligible friction, is motionless next to a platform. A 241 kg sumo wrestler ru

ns at 5.3 m/s along the platform (parallel to the track) and then jumps onto the flatcar.
(a) What is the speed of the flatcar if he then stands on it?
(b) What is the speed of the flatcar if he then runs at 5.3 m/s relative to it in his original direction?
(c) What is the speed of the flatcar if he then turns and runs at 5.3 m/s relative to the flatcar opposite his original direction?

Answer

given,

mass of railroad = 2060 Kg

mass of sumo wrestler = 241 Kg

speed = 5.3 m/s

a) using conservation of momentum

     m v = (m + M) V

     241 x 5.3 = (241 + 2060)V

    V = \dfrac{1277.3}{2301}

      V = 0.556 m/s

b) Let v be the relative speed

  Again using conservation of momentum

  241 x 5.3 =241 x (5.3+v)  + 2060 v

  241 x 5.3 =241 x 5.3+241 x v + 2060 v

  2301 v = 0

       v = 0 m/s

c)  the speed of the flatcar if he then turns and run sat 5.3 m/s relative to the flat car opposite his original direction

  241 x 5.3 =241 x (v - 5.3)  + 2060 v

  241 x 5.3 = - 241 x 5.3+241 x v + 2060 v

  2301 v = 2554.6

      v = 1.11 m/s

A new landowner has a triangular piece of flat land she wishes to fence. Starting at the first corner, she measures the first si
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

Length of third side = 3.97m

Explanation:

First of all, let we draw the triangle from the given information assuming our first corner is A. second corner is B and third corner is C.

From A-B we have distance = 5.5m = Say it c

From B-C we have distance = 4.3m = Say it a

From A-C we have distance = ? = Say it b which we have to find out.

Using the Law of Cosines: The square of the unknown side equals to the sum of squares of other 2 sides and subtracting 2*(Product of other sides)*(Cos(Angle opposite to the unknown side)

For our case it is:

b² = a² + c² - 2acCos(B)         -  Say it equation 1

From the attached triangle you may see that, a & c are our known sides and B is the angle opposite to the side b.

There values are:

a = 4.3m;  c = 5.5m ; Angle B = 0.8 rad = 0.8 * 57.3 = 45.84 degrees where 1 rad = 57.3 degrees

Now by putting the respectve values in equation 1 we have:

b² = (4.3)² + (5.5)² - 2*4.3*5.5*Cos(45.84)

b² = 18.49 + 30.25 - 32.95

b² = 15.79

b  = √15.79

b = 3.97m

Thus the length of third side is 3.97m.

PS: The picture of triangle is being attached for yours understanding.
