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

Identify and sketch all the external forces acting on the chair. because the chair can be represented as a point particle of mas
SOVA2 [1]

There are two external force acts on the chair.

1. The force due to earth gravity, acts in the downward direction.

2. Reaction force of the gravity, which acts in the Upward direction (Normal Force).

On every object, there is a force acts due to gravity of earth, which pulls the object towards the centre of earth, known as gravity force, always acts in the downward direction. Mathematically it's given as

F=mg

here, m is the mass of the object, and g is the acceleration of gravity.

To balance this gravity force, a counter force acts in the opposite direction, whose magnitude is equal to the force of gravity

In an experiment, a variable, position-dependent force FC) is exerted on a block of mass 1.0 kg that is moving on a horizontal s
marshall27 [118]

Answer:

C) The function F(x) for 0 < x < 5, the block's initial velocity, and the value of Fr.

Explanation:

Yo want to prove the following equation:

W_N=\Delta K\\\\

That is, the net force exerted on an object is equal to the change in the kinetic energy of the object.

The previous equation is also equal to:

F(x)x-F_f=\frac{1}{2}m(v_f^2-v_o^2)    (1)

m: mass of the block

vf: final velocity

v_o: initial velocity

Ff: friction force

F(x): Force

x: distance

You know the values of vf, m and x.

In order to prove the equation (1) it is necessary that you have C The function F(x) for 0 < x < 5, the block's initial velocity, and the value of F.  Thus you can calculate experimentally both sides of the equation.
