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

An electron and a second particle both move in circles perpendicular to a uniformmagnetic field. The mass of the second particle
Katarina [22]

Answer:

The change on the second particle is 2.93\times 10^{-16}\ C.

Explanation:

The period of revolution of the particle in the magnetic field is given by the formula as follows :

T=\dfrac{2\pi m}{Bq}

It is given that the magnetic field is uniform. The mass of the second particle is the same as that of a proton but thecharge of this particle is different from that of a proton.

m_s=m_p

If both particles take the same amount of time to go once around their respective circles. So,

T_e=T_s\\\\\dfrac{2\pi m_e}{Bq_e}=\dfrac{2\pi m_s}{Bq_s}\\\\\dfrac{m_e}{q_e}=\dfrac{m_p}{q_s}\\\\q_s=\dfrac{m_pq_e}{m_e}\\\\q_s=\dfrac{1.67\times 10^{-27}\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}}{9.11\times 10^{-31}}\\\\q_s=2.93\times 10^{-16}\ C

So, the change on the second particle is 2.93\times 10^{-16}\ C.

A skater is using very low friction rollerblades. A friend throws a Frisbee at her, on the straight line along which she is coas
kupik [55]

Answer:

a)  perfectly inelastic,  b)  collision is inelastic,  c)   elastic  

Explanation:

In this exercise, it is asked to identify what type of shock occurs between the skater and the frisbee, for this we must define a system formed by the skater and the fribee, so that the forces during the crash have been internal and the amount of movement is preserved

Initial instant. Before the skater touches the frisbee

    p₀ = M v₁ + m v₂

where M and m are the masses of the skater and frisbee, respectively

for the final moment they give us several possibilities, in all case the moment is conserved

       p₀ = p_{f}

case a)

Final instant. grabs the frisbee and holds it

    p_{f} = (M + m) v '

     p₀ = p_{f}

We can see that this shock is perfectly inelastic, it holds the fressbee

case b)

final instant.

This case is similar to the previous one, but the final speed of fresbee is zero, therefore this collision is inelastic and the kinetic energy is not conserved.

case c)

final instant. Grab the fressbee and resend it

      p_{f} = M v_{1f} + m v_{2f}

this is an elastic Shock since the equivalent of a rebound of the fressbee, the kinetic energy is conserved.

What is the speed of a wave in (m/s) with a 5 meter wavelength and a period of 20 seconds?
arlik [135]

Answer: 0.25 m/s

Explanation:  Speed = wavelengt · frequency  

v = λf   and frequency is 1/period  f = 1/T

Then v = λ/T = 5 m / 20 s = 0.25 m/s
