A 500 kg sack of coal falls vertically onto a 2000 kg railroad flatcar which was initially moving horizontally at 3 m/s. no exte

Zinaida [17]

Since there are no external forces, including friction, act on the flatcar. after the sack rests on the flatcar, we would assume that momentum is conserved. This means that

total momentum of car before collision = total momentum of car after collision.

Recall,

momentum = mass x velocity

From the information given,

mass of car before collision = 2000

velocity of car before collision = 3

Thus,

total momentum of car before collision = 2000 x 3 = 6000

Also,

mass of sack = 500

mass of car and sack after collision = 500 + 2000 = 2500

velocity after collision = v

momentum after collision = 2500 x v = 2500v

Since momentum is conserved, then

6000 = 2500v

v = 6000/2500

v = 2.4

the speed of the flatcar is 2.4 m/s

Two point charges 3q and −8q (with q > 0) are at x = 0 and x = L, respectively, and free to move. A third charge is placed so

riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

Explanation:

The unknown charge can not remain in between the charge given because force on the middle charge will act in the same direction due to both the remaining charges.

So the unknown charge is somewhere on negative side of x axis . Its charge will be negative . Let it be - Q and let it be at distance - x on x axis.

force on it due to rest of the charges will be equal and opposite so

k3q Q / x² =k 8q Q / (L+x)²

8x² = 3 (L+x)²

2√2 x = √3 (L+x)

2√2 x - √3 x = √3 L

x(2√2 - √3 ) = √3 L

x = √3 L / (2√2 - √3 )

Let us consider the balancing force on 3q

force on it due to -Q and -8q will be equal

kQ . 3q / x² = k3q 8q / L²

Q = 8q (x² / L²)

so charge required = - 8q (x² / L²)

and its distance from x on negative x side = √3 L / (2√2 - √3 )

Choose the scenario in which the sound frequency of the waves is higher.

mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

B) the sound source moves towards you at 100 m/sec

Explanation:

The Dopper Effect is a phenomenon that occur when there is relative motion between an observer and a source of a wave. When this situation occurs, there is an apparent shift in frequency of the wave, as observed by the observer.

The apparent frequency observed by the observer is given by

$f'=\frac{v\pm v_o}{v\pm v_s}f$

where

f is the original frequency of the wave

f' is the apparent frequency

v is the speed of the wave

$v_o$ is the velocity of the observer (positive if moving towards the source of the wave, negative otherwise)

$v_s$ is the velocity of the source (negative if moving towards from the observer, positive otherwise)

In this problem, we want to find the scenario in which the sound frequency is higher.

We see that in all 4 scenarios, the sound source is moving: this means we have to find the scenario in which the denominator of the equation is smaller.

First of all, we notice the sound source moves towards the observer, $v_s$ is negative, so the denominator is higher: this means that the correct option must be either A or B.

Also, we notice that since $v_s$ is negative, a value larger in magnitude will mean a smaller denominator: therefore, the correct answer will be

B) the sound source moves towards you at 100 m/sec

Since this situation will make the denominator of the formula the smallest possible.
