What is the velocity (in m/s) of a 550 kg roller coaster cart at the bottom of the track if it started with 990,000 J of gravita

sesenic [268]

Answer:

60m/s

Explanation:

initial energy = final energy

g.p.e = k.e

k.e = 0.5 × mass × velocity²

g.p.e = 990000J as per Question

990000Nm = 0.5 × 550 × V²

V² = 3600

V = 60m/s

An object of mass 2kg raised to a height 10m possess potential energy of 200J. What is the kinetic energy and potential energy a

Shtirlitz [24]

Explanation:

${\bold{\sf{\underline{Understanding \: the \: concept}}}}$

✠ This question says that there is an object and its mass is 2 kg ; it's raised to a height 10 m and possess potential energy of 200 J. Now this question ask us to find the kinetic energy and the potential energy at a height 4 metre.

$\bold{↬{ }}$ ${\bold{\sf{\underline{Given \: that}}}}$

✰ Mass = 2 kilograms

✰ Raised height = 10 metres

✰ Posses potential energy = 200 Joules

$\bold{↬{ }}$ ${\bold{\sf{\underline{To \: find}}}}$

✰ Kinetic energy at a height 4 metre

✰ Potential energy at a height 4 metre

${\bold{\sf{\underline{Solution}}}}$

✰ Kinetic energy at a height 4 metre = 120 J

✰ Potential energy at a height 4 metre = 80 J

${\bold{\sf{\underline{Using \: concepts}}}}$

✰ Potential energy formula.

${\bold{\sf{\underline{Using \: formula}}}}$

✰ Potential energy = mgh

${\bold{\sf{\underline{We \: also \: write \: these \: as}}}}$

✰ Potential energy as P.E

✰ Mass as m

✰ Joules as J

✰ Height as h

✰ Raised height as g

${\bold{\sf{\underline{Full \: solution}}}}$

<h3>✠ Let us find the Potential energy.</h3>

↦ Potential energy = mgh

↦ Potential energy = 2 × 10 × 4

↦ Potential energy = 20 × 4

↦ Potential energy = 80 J

<h3>✠ Now according to the question let us find the kinetic energy</h3>

↦ Kinetic energy = Posses potential energy - Finded potential energy

↦ Kinetic energy = 200 J - 80 J

↦ Kinetic energy = 120 Joules

A large truck is moving at 22.0 m/s. if its momentum is 125,000 kg • meters per second, what is the truck's mass? 176 kg 2750 kg

solong [7]

The mass of the large truck is determined as 5680 kg.

<h3>Mass of the truck</h3>

The mass of the truck is calculated as follows;

P = mv

where;

P is momentum
m is mass
v is velocity

m = P/v

m = 125000/22

m = 5680 kg

Thus, the mass of the large truck is determined as 5680 kg.

Compare to a low wavelength sound wave, a high wavelength sound wave Select all that apply Group of answer choices travels slowe

viktelen [127]

Answer:

B. has a smaller frequency

C. travels at the same speed

Explanation:

The wording of the question is a bit confusing, it should be short/long for wavelength and low/high for frequency. I assume low wavelength mean short wavelength.

All sound wave travel with the same velocity(343m/s) so wavelength doesn't influence its speed at all. It won't be faster or slower, it will have the same speed.

Velocity is a product of wavelength and frequency. So, a long-wavelength sound wave should have a lower frequency.

The option should be:

A. travels slower -->false

B. has a smaller frequency -->true

C. travels at the same speed --->true

D. has a higher frequency --->false

E. travels faster has the same frequency --->false
