Ann (mass 50 kg) is standing at the left end of a 15-m-long, 500 kg cart that has frictionless wheels and rolls on a frictionles

s track. Initially both Ann and the cart are at rest. Suddenly, Ann starts running along the cart at a speed of 5.0m/srelative to the cart.
How far will Ann have run relative to the ground when she reaches the right end of the cart?
Express your answer with the appropriate units.

Answer:

13.5 m

Explanation:

M = Mass of cart = 500 kg

m = Ann's mass = 50 kg

$v_m$ = Velocity of Ann relative to cart = 5 m/s

$v_M$ = Velocity of Cart relative to Ann

As the linear momentum of the system is conserved

$Mv_M+mv_m=0\\\Rightarrow v_M=-\frac{mv_m}{M}\\\Rightarrow v_M=-\frac{50\times 5}{500}\\\Rightarrow v_M=-0.5\ m/s$

Time taken to reach the right end by Ann

$Time=\frac{Distance}{Speed}\\\Rightarrow Time=\frac{15}{5}=3\ s$

Distance the cart will move in the 3 seconds

$Distance=Speed\times Time\\\Rightarrow Distance=-0.5\times 3=-1.5\ m$

The negative sign indicates opposite direction

Movement of Ann will be the sum of the distances

$15+(-1.5)=13.5\ m$

The net movement of Ann is 13.5 m

Answer:

∑ τ =0, L₀ = $L_{f}$

Explanation:

In a circular turning movement, when the arms are extended and then contracted in two possibilities:

- They are lowered the force of gravity is what pulls them, the tension of the muscle becomes zero to allow this movement.

In this movement the force is vertical(gravity) and the movement of the center of mass of each arm is vertical, so that the work is the weight value of the arm by the distance traveled by the center of mass.

- Another possibility is that the arms have stuck to the body, in this case the person's muscles perform the force, this force is horizontal and the displacement is the horizontal of the center of mass of the arms from the extended position to the contracted

In these movements the torque of the external force is equal for each arm, but in the opposite direction, so they are canceled where a net torque of zero, this causes the angular momentum to be preserved, which changes is the moment of inertia of the system and therefore you must also change the angular velocity to keep your product constant

A proton enters a uniform magnetic field of strength 1 T at 300 m/s. The magnetic field is oriented perpendicular to the proton’

scZoUnD [109]

A charged particle moving in a magnetic field experiences a force equal to:

$\vec{F}=q\vec{v}\times \vec{B}$

Thus, the magnitude of the force that the proton experiences is given by:

$F=qvBsin\theta$

The magnetic field is perpendicular to the proton's velocity, therefore, we have $\theta=90^\circ$ . Replacing the given values, we obtain:

$F=1.6*10^{-19}C(300\frac{m}{s})(1T)sin(90^\circ)\\F=4.8*10^{-17}N$

What is the magnitude of the resultant of a 7.0-N force acting vertically upward and a 5.0-N force acting horizontally.

irakobra [83]

Answer:

Resultant force = 8.6N

Explanation:

Using Pythogorus' theorem

${a}^{2} + {b}^{2} = {c }^{2} \\ {7}^{2} + {5}^{2} = {r}^{2} \\ 49 + 25 = {r}^{2} \\ 74 = {r}^{2} \\ \sqrt{74} = \sqrt{ {r }^{2} } \\ 8.6 = r \\$

Resultant force = 8.6N

Two parallel wires carry currents in the same direction. If the currents in the wires are 1A and 4A and the wires are 5 m apart.

serious [3.7K]

Answer:

$1.6\times 10^{-7}$ N

$2.4\times 10^{-7}$ N

Explanation:

$i_{1}$ = 1 A

$i_{2}$ = 4 A

$r$ = distance between the two wire = 5 m

$F$ = Force per unit length acting between the two wires

Force per unit length acting between the two wires is given as

$F = \frac{\mu _{o}}{4\pi }\frac{2i_{1}i_{2}}{r}$

$F = (10^{-7})\frac{2(1)(4)}{5}$

$F = 1.6\times 10^{-7}$ N

$r'}$ = distance of each wire from the midpoint = 2.5 m

Magnetic field midway between the two wires is given as

$B = \frac{\mu _{o}}{4\pi } \left \left ( \frac{2i_{2}}{r'} \right - \frac{2i_{1}}{r'} \right \right ))$

$B = (10^{-7}) \left \left ( \frac{2(4)}{2.5} \right - \frac{2(1)}{2.5} \right \right ))$

$B = 2.4\times 10^{-7}$
