Answer:
Explanation:
Let assume begins movement at zero point, that is, height is equal to zero. The block has an initial linear kinetic energy and no gravitational potential energy and end with no linear kinetic energy, some gravitational potential energy and work losses due to slide friction. In mathematical terms, this system can be model as follows:
Where are linear kinetic energy, gravitational potential energy and work, respectively.
Answer:
13.5 m
Explanation:
M = Mass of cart = 500 kg
m = Ann's mass = 50 kg
= Velocity of Ann relative to cart = 5 m/s
= Velocity of Cart relative to Ann
As the linear momentum of the system is conserved
Time taken to reach the right end by Ann
Distance the cart will move in the 3 seconds
The negative sign indicates opposite direction
Movement of Ann will be the sum of the distances
The net movement of Ann is 13.5 m
