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
