A railroad car of length L aned mass `m_(0)` when empty is moving freely on a horizontal track while being loaded with sand from a stationary chute at a rate dm/dt=q. knowing that the car was approaching the chute a speed `v_(0)`, determine
(a). The mass of the car and its load after the car has cleared the chute.
(b). The speed of the car at that time.

A railroad flatcar of mass M can roll without friction along a straight horizontal track. Initially, a man of mass 'm' is standing on the car, which is at rest. What is the velocity of the car if man runs to the left so that his speed relative to the car is v_(rel) .

a. A rail road flat car of mass M can roll without friction along a straight horizontal track . Initially, a man of mass m is standing on the car which is moving to the right with speed v_(0) . What is the change in velocity of the car if the man runs to the left so that his speed relative to the car is v_(rel) just before he jumps off at the left end? b. If there are n men each of mass m on the car, should they all run and jump off together or should they run and jump one by one in order to give a greater velocity to the car?
