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?

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

A tube with a cap on one end, but open at the other end, has a fundamental frequency of 130.8 Hz. The speed of sound is 343 m/s
sergey [27]

Answer:

Y = V / f      where Y equals wavelength

4 Y1 = V / f1       for a closed pipe the wavelength is 1/4 the length of the pipe

2 Y2 = V / f2   for the open pipe the wavelength is 1/2 the length of the pipe

Y1 / Y2 = 2 = f2 / f1      dividing equations

f2 = 2 f1  

the new fundamental frequency is 2 * 130.8 = 261.6

(The new wavelength is 1/2 the original wavelength so the frequency must double to produce the same speed.

Which of the following scenarios would be optimal for obtaining a date from radioactive decay using these isotopes: 87Rb, 147Sm,
REY [17]

Answer:

a) 238U, 40K and 87Rb, b)   235U and to a lesser extent 40K , c)  he 235U,

d) possibility is 14C , e)this period would be ideal for 14C , f) 14C should be used since it is the one with the least average life time, even though the measurements must be very careful

Explanation:

One of the applications of radioactive decay is the dating of different systems.

To do this, the quantity of radioactive material in a meter is determined and with the average life time, the time of the sample is found.

Let's write the half-life times of the given materials

87Rb T ½ = 4.75 1010 years

147Sm T ½ = 1.06 1011 years

235U = 7,038 108 years

238U = 4.47 109 years

40K = 1,248 109 years

14C = 5,568 103 years

we already have the half-life of the different elements given

a) meteors. As these decomposed in the formation of the solar system, their life time is around 3 109 to 5 109 years, so it is necessary to look for elements that have a life time of this order, among the candidates we have 238U, 40K and 87Rb if these elements were at the moment of the formation of these meteors, there must still be rations in them, instead elements 14C already completely adequate

b) rock. The formation period is 4.20-108 years, therefore one of the most promising elements is 235U and to a lesser extent 40K since it is more abundant in rocks. The other elements with higher life times have not decayed and therefore will not give a true value and the 14C is completely decayed

c) volcanic ash. Formation time 6107 years, the only element that has the possibility of having a count is the 235U, the others have a life time so long that they have not decayed and the 14C is complete, unbent

d) scarp of an earthquake formation time 5 101 years, The only one that has any possibility is 14C even when it has declined very little, all the others, you have time to long that has not decayed

e) INCA excavation. The time of this civilization is about 10000 to 500 years (104 to 5 102 years), we see that this period would be ideal for 14C since it has some period of cementation, the others have not decayed

f) Tree in Blepharitis. 14C should be used since it is the one with the least average life time, even though the measurements must be very careful because of a period of disintegration. We have such a long time that they have not decayed

Answer:

Explanation:

The inclined plane

An inclined plane consists of a sloping surface; it is used for raising heavy bodies. The plane offers a mechanical advantage in that the force required to move an object up the incline is less than the weight being raised (discounting friction). The steeper the slope, or incline, the more nearly the required force approaches the actual weight. Expressed mathematically, the force F required to move a block D up an inclined plane without friction is equal to its weight W times the sine of the angle the inclined plane makes with the horizontal (θ). The equation is F = W sin θ.

The lever

A lever is a bar or board that rests on a support called a fulcrum. A downward force exerted on one end of the lever can be transferred and increased in an upward direction at the other end, allowing a small force to lift a heavy weight.

The wedge

A wedge is an object that tapers to a thin edge. Pushing the wedge in one direction creates a force in a sideways direction. It is usually made of metal or wood and is used for splitting, lifting, or tightening, as in securing a hammer head onto its handle.

The wheel and axle

A wheel and axle is made up of a circular frame (the wheel) that revolves on a shaft or rod (the axle). In its earliest form it was probably used for raising weights or water buckets from wells.

Its principle of operation is best explained by way of a device with a large gear and a small gear attached to the same shaft. The tendency of a force, F, applied at the radius R on the large gear to turn the shaft is sufficient to overcome the larger force W at the radius r on the small gear. The force amplification, or mechanical advantage, is equal to the ratio of the two forces (W:F) and also equal to the ratio of the radii of the two gears (R:r)
