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

Atoms with many electron shells will let go of their electrons more easily than those with fewer shells.
Anna007 [38]

True

The more the number of shells will let go of their outer electrons more easily because the effective nuclear charge on the outer (valence) electrons will be lower. This is called 'shielding', the outer electrons will be shielded from the nucleus by the inner electrons.

Hope this Helps

The tallest building in the world, according to some architectural standards, is the Taipei 101 in Taiwan, at a height of 1671 f
Andrej [43]

Answer:

35.14°C

Explanation:

The equation for linear thermal expansion is \Delta L = \alpha L_0\Delta T, which means that a bar of length L_0 with a thermal expansion coefficient \alpha under a temperature variation \Delta T will experiment a length variation \Delta L.

We have then \Delta L = 0.481 foot, L_0 = 1671 feet and \alpha = 0.000013 per centigrade degree (this is just the linear thermal expansion of steel that you must find in a table), which means from the equation for linear thermal expansion that we have a \Delta T =\frac{\Delta L }{\alpha L_0} = 22.14°. As said before, these degrees are centigrades (Celsius or Kelvin, it does not matter since it is only a variation), and the foot units cancel on the equation, showing no further conversion was needed.

Since our temperature on a cool spring day was 13.0°C, our new temperature must be T_f=T_0+\Delta T = 35.14°C
