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

Why does a heater having low resistance heating coils get heated more?​
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer: If you use a very small resistance AND the circuit design is such that the voltage drop is across the resistance of the heating-wire-circuit, [nothing else in the circuit is limiting current flow] you will get more heating. That's what we have in a heat anticipator internal-nichrome-wire-heater device.

A circuit contains two devices that are connected in parallel. If the resistance of one of these devices is 12 ohms and the resi
finlep [7]

<u>Answer</u>

3 Ohms

<u>Explanation</u>

when the resistors are in series, the resistance in the circuit increases. For example, if two resistors, R1 and R2 are in series, the combined resistance is R1+R2.

When connected in parallel, the total resistance is the reciprocal of (1/R1 + 1/R2)

In this case the resistors are in parallel.

Total resistance = (1/12 + 1/4)⁻¹

= (1/3)⁻¹

= 3 Ohms

Calculat the acceleration of a person at latitude<br> 40degreesowing to the rotation of the earth.
beks73 [17]

Answer:

acceleration of person = 9.77 m/s²

Explanation:

given data

latitude = 40 degree

to find out

Calculate the acceleration of a person

solution

we know that here 40 degree = 0.698 rad

so

acceleration of person = g - ω²R    ...............1

and 1 rotation complete in 24 hours = 360 degree

here g is 9.81

so we know Earth angular speed ω = 7.27 × 10^{-5} rad/s and R is earth radius that is 6.37 × 10^{6} m

so

put here value in equation 1 we get

acceleration of person = g - ω²R

acceleration of person = 9.81 - (7.27 × 10^{-5})² × 6.37 × 10^{6}

acceleration of person = 9.77 m/s²
