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

What are allotropes? Give an example.
VARVARA [1.3K]
Allotropes are different forms of the same element. Different bonding arrangements between atoms result in different structures with different chemical and physical properties. Allotropes occur only with certain elements, in Groups 13 through 16 in the Periodic Table.

What quantity does the Hamiltonian correspond to? Rest mass Potential energy Total energy Kinetic energy Bohr frequency Lagrangi
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

The correct option is: Total energy

Explanation:

The Hamiltonian operator, in quantum mechanics, is an operator that is associated with the<u> total energy of the system.</u> It is equal to the sum of the total kinetic energy and the potential energy of all the particles of the system.

The Hamiltonian operator was named after the Irish mathematician, William Rowan Hamiltonis denoted and is denoted by H.

What is the average speed of an object that travels 6 meters in 2 seconds and then travels 3 meters in 1 second?
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

3 m/s

Explanation:

Average Speed = \frac{Total Distance}{Total time}

Plug in the numbers, it will be (6m + 3m) divided by (2s + 1s), which is 9m/3s, which equals to 3m/s.

A swimmer bounces straight up from a diving board and falls feet first into a pool. She starts with a velocity of 4.00 m/s, and
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

a = 1.152s

b = 0.817 m

c = 7.29m/s

Explanation: let the following

From the first equation of linear motion

V = u+at..........1

parameters be represented as :

t = Time taken

v = Final velocity

a = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s²

u = Initial velocity = 4 m/s

s = Displacement

V = 0

Substitute the values into equation 1

0 = 4-9.8(t)

-4 = -9.8t

t = 4/9.8

t = 0.408s

From : s = ut+1/2at^2.........2

S = 4×0.408+0.5(-9.8)×0.408^2

S= 1.632-4.9(0.166)

S = 1.632-0.815

S = 0.817m

Her highest height above the board is 0.817 m

Total height she would fall is 0.817+1.90 = 2.717 m

From equation 2

s = ut+1/2at^2

2.717 m = 0t+0.5(9.8)t^2

2.717 m = 0+4.9t^2

2.717 m = 4.9t^2

2.717/4.9 = t^2

0.554 =t^2

t =√0.554

t = 0.744s

Hence, her feet were in the air for 0.744+0.408seconds

= 1.152s

Also recall from equation 1

V= u+at

V = 0+9.8(0.744)

V = 7.29m/s

Hence, the velocity when she hits the water is 7.29m/s

Finally,

a = 1.152s

b = 0.817 m

c = 7.29m/s
