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

Which statement BEST explains why the specific heat of water is higher than the specific heat of most other substances?
solniwko [45]
Due to its polarity and hydrogen bonding water can absorb heat without a significant temperature change.. The high specific heat of water helps regulate the rate at which air changes temperature, which is why the temperature change between seasons is gradual instead of sudden, especially near the oceans.

An archer puts a 0.30 kg arrow to the bowstring. An average force of 201 N is exerted to draw the string back 1.3 m.a. Assuming
Vlad [161]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

mass of archer m=0.3\ kg

Average force F_{avg}=201\ N

extension in arrow x=1.3\ m

Work done to stretch the bow with arrow

W=F\cdot x

W=201\times 1.3=261.3\ m

This work done is converted into kinetic Energy of arrow

W=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where v= velocity of arrow

261.3=\frac{1}{2}\times 0.3\times v^2

v=\sqrt{1742}

v=41.73\ m/s

(b)if arrow is thrown vertically upward then this energy is converted to Potential energy

W=mgh

261.3=0.3\times 9.8\times h

h=\frac{261.3}{0.3\times 9.8}

h=88.87\ m

A Block slides down an incline that makes an angle of 30? with the horizontal direction. The coefficient of kinetic friction bet
astraxan [27]

Answer:

Acceleration = 2.35 m/s^{2}

Speed = 8.67 m/s

Explanation:

The coefficient of friction , u =0.3

The angle of incline = 30°

The two forces acting on block are weight and friction.

weight along the incline = mg cos60° = \frac{mg}{2} = 0.5 mg

Friction along incline = umg cos30° = mg 0.3\times \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}

Friction along incline  = 0.26 mg

Net force acting on the weight = (0.5 - 0.26) mg = 0.24 mg

Acceleration = \frac{net force}{mass} = 0.24 g = 2.35 m/s^{2}

The height of incline = 8 m

Length of the inclined edge = 16 m

v^{2}=u^{2}+2as

v^{2}= 2\times 0.24 \times 9.8\times 16

v= 8.67 m/s

What is the wavelength of a monochromatic light beam, where the photon energy is 2.70 × 10^−19 J? (h = 6.63 ×10^−34 J⋅s, c = 3.0
SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

Wavelength = 736.67 nm

Explanation:

Given

Energy of the photon = 2.70 × 10⁻¹⁹ J

Considering:

Energy=h\times frequency

where, h is Plank's constant having value as 6.63 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s

The relation between frequency and wavelength is shown below as:

c = frequency × Wavelength

Where, c is the speed of light having value = 3×10⁸ m/s

So, Frequency is:

Frequency = c / Wavelength

So,  Formula for energy:

Energy=h\times \frac {c}{\lambda}

Energy = 2.70 × 10⁻¹⁹ J

c = 3×10⁸ m/s

h = 6.63 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s

Thus, applying in the formula:

2.70\times 10^{-19}=6.63\times 10^{-34}\times \frac {3\times 10^8}{\lambda}

Wavelength = 736.67 × 10⁻⁹ m

1 nm = 10⁻⁹ m

So,

<u>Wavelength = 736.67 nm</u>
