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

) is it possible for one component of a vector to be zero, while the vector itself is not zero?
Natalka [10]
The least number of component of a vector quantity is two. These are the x-component and the y-component. 

The resultant vector, or vector as we refer to it in this item, can be calculated through the equation,
              RV = sqrt ((Vx)² + (Vy)²)

From the equation, it can be noted that if we let Vx equal to zero,
              RV = Vy

Similarly, if we let Vy be equal to zero then,
             RV = Vx

Thus, it is still possible for the vector to become nonzero even if one of its components is zero.

plsssssss i need help Which source of law is most like common law: statutes, case law, or administrative law? Explain
Lisa [10]

Answer:

The answer is "case law".

Explanation:

This law is not based on law, but on legislatures, statutes, or legislation, on judgments. Its also used as a different term with common law, which is the collection of precedents as well as power on a specific subject established in previous judicial decisions that are a part of Common law, which is also recognized as case law to establish by the court system based on legal case law.

<h2>Hey There!</h2><h2>_____________________________________</h2><h2>Question 7: </h2>

 \huge\text{Graphs:}

The graph of  

• The I-V for Ohmic Metal wire conductor at constant temperature  always shows a straight line between the Current(I) plotted at Y axis and Voltage(V) plotted at X axis. Picture 1

• The I-V graph for Diode shows that first the current is zero but as we increase the potential difference(voltage), it results in the increase in the current. Picture 2

<h2>_____________________________________ </h2><h2>Question 8: </h2>

\Large\textbf{Diode:}  

A diode is a device that allows current to flow in only one direction.

\Large\textbf{Forward and Reverse Biasing:}  

Forward Bias, When a diode is forward bias (a voltage in the "forward" direction) then the P-side of the diode is attached to the positive terminal and N-side is fixed to the negative side of the battery which is connected, current flows freely through the device. The forward bias decreases the thickness of potential barrier(The potential barrier barrier in which the charge requires additional force for crossing the region)

Reverse Bias, When a diode is Reverse bias(a voltage in the "backward direction) then the P-side of the diode is connected to the negative terminal and N-side is connected to the positive terminal of the battery which is connected. The reverse bias increases the thickness of the potential barrier resulting in the flow of no current.

 \Large\textbf{Answer to the Question "Resistance"}

The Forward bias decreases the resistance of the diode whereas the reversed bias increases the resistance of the diode. As in forward biasing the current is easily flowing through the circuit whereas reverse bias does not allow the current to flow through it.

g A box having mass 0,5kg is placed in front of a 20 cm compressed spring. When the spring released, box having mass m1, collide
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:Expression given below

Explanation:

Given mass of spring\left ( m_1\right )=0.5 kg

Compression in the spring\left ( x\right )=20 cm

Let the spring constant be K

Using Energy conservation

potential energy stored in spring =Kinetic energy of Block\left ( m_1\right )

\frac{1}{2}Kx^2=\frac{1}{2}m_1v^2

v=x\sqrt{\frac{k}{m_1}}

now conserving momentum

m_1v=\left ( m_1+m_2\right )v_0

v_0=\frac{m_1}{m_1+m_2}v

where v_0 is the final velocity
