In this question all required information's are already provided. Based on these details the answer to the question can be easily determined. Let us now write down all the information's that are already given.

Mass of the roller coaster = 1000 kg

Velocity of the roller coaster = 20.0 m/s

We know the formula for finding the kinetic energy is

Kinetic energy = 0.5 * mass * (velocity) ^2

                      = 0.5 * 1000 * (20)^2

                      = 0.5 * 1000 * 400

                      = 200000 Joules

So the Kinetic energy of the roller coaster is 200000 joules.

i hope this helps you friend good luck on your quiz or lesson

Starting from Newton’s law of universal gravitation, show how to find the speed of the moon in its orbit from the earth-moon dis
WARRIOR [948]

Answer: 1010.92 m/s

Explanation:

According to Newton's law of universal gravitation:

F=G\frac{Mm}{r^{2}} (1)

Where:

F is the gravitational force between Earth and Moon

G=6.674(10)^{-11}\frac{m^{3}}{kgs^{2}} is the Gravitational Constant  

M=5.972(10)^{24} kg is the mass of the Earth

m=7.349(10)^{22} kg is the mass of the Moon

r=3.9(10)^{8} m is the distance between the Earth and Moon

Asuming the orbit of the Moon around the Earth is a circular orbit, the Earth exerts a centripetal force on the moon, which is equal to F:

F=m.a_{C} (2)

Where a_{C} is the centripetal acceleration given by:

a_{C}=\frac{V^{2}}{r} (3)  

Being V the orbital velocity of the moon

Making (1)=(2):

m.a_{C}=G\frac{Mm}{r^{2}} (4)

Simplifying:

a_{C}=G\frac{M}{r^{2}} (5)

Making (5)=(3):

\frac{V^{2}}{r}=G\frac{M}{r^{2}} (6)  

Finding V:

V=\sqrt{\frac{GM}{r}} (7)

V=\sqrt{\frac{(6.674(10)^{-11}\frac{m^{3}}{kgs^{2}})(5.972(10)^{24} kg)}{3.9(10)^{8} m}} (8)

Finally:

V=1010.92 m/s

Harman [31]

Answer:  

A) 1.55  

B) 1.55

C) 12.92

D) 34.08

E)  57.82

Explanation:  

The free body diagram attached, R is the radius of the wheel  

Block B is lighter than block A so block A will move upward while A downward with the same acceleration. Since no snipping will occur, the wheel rotates in clockwise direction.  

At the centre of the whee, torque due to B is given by  

{\tau _2} = - {T_{\rm{B}}}R  

Similarly, torque due to A is given by  

{\tau _1} = {T_{\rm{A}}}R  

The sum of torque at the pivot is given by  

\tau = {\tau _1} + {\tau _2}  

Replacing {\tau _1} and {\tau _2} by {T_{\rm{A}}}R and - {T_{\rm{B}}}R respectively yields  

\begin{array}{c}\\\tau = {T_{\rm{A}}}R - {T_{\rm{B}}}R\\\\ = \left( {{T_{\rm{A}}} - {T_{\rm{B}}}} \right)R\\\end{array}  

Substituting I\alpha for \tau in the equation \tau = \left( {{T_{\rm{A}}} - {T_{\rm{B}}}} \right)R  

I\alpha=\left( {{T_{\rm{A}}} - {T_{\rm{B}}}} \right)R  

\frac{I\alpha}{R} =\left {{T_{\rm{A}}} - {T_{\rm{B}}}} \right  

The angular acceleration of the wheel is given by \alpha = \frac{a}{R}  

where a is the linear acceleration  

Substituting \frac{a}{R} for \alpha into equation  

\frac{I\alpha}{R} =\left {{T_{\rm{A}}} - {T_{\rm{B}}}} \right we obtain  

\frac{Ia}{R^2} =\left {{T_{\rm{A}}} - {T_{\rm{B}}}} \right  

Net force on block A is  

{F_{\rm{A}}} = {m_{\rm{A}}}g - {T_{\rm{A}}}  

Net force on block B is  

{F_{\rm{B}}} = {T_{\rm{B}}} - {m_{\rm{B}}}g  

Where g is acceleration due to gravity  

Substituting {m_{\rm{B}}}a and {m_{\rm{A}}}a for {F_{\rm{B}}} and {F_{\rm{A}}} respectively into equation \frac{Ia}{R^2} =\left {{T_{\rm{A}}} - {T_{\rm{B}}}} \right and making a the subject we obtain  

\begin{array}{c}\\{m_{\rm{A}}}g - {m_{\rm{A}}}a - \left( {{m_{\rm{B}}}g + {m_{\rm{B}}}a} \right) = \frac{{Ia}}{{{R^2}}}\\\\\left( {{m_{\rm{A}}} - {m_{\rm{B}}}} \right)g - \left( {{m_{\rm{A}}} + {m_{\rm{B}}}} \right)a = \frac{{Ia}}{{{R^2}}}\\\\\left( {{m_{\rm{A}}} + {m_{\rm{B}}} + \frac{I}{{{R^2}}}} \right)a = \left( {{m_{\rm{A}}} - {m_{\rm{B}}}} \right)g\\\\a = \frac{{\left( {{m_{\rm{A}}} - {m_{\rm{B}}}} \right)g}}{{\left( {{m_{\rm{A}}} + {m_{\rm{B}}} + \frac{I}{{{R^2}}}} \right)}}\\\end{array}  

Since {m_{\rm{B}}} = 3kg and {m_{\rm{B}}} = 7kg  

g=9.81 and R=0.12m, I=0.22{\rm{ kg}} \cdot {{\rm{m}}^2}  

Substituting these we obtain  

a = \frac{{\left( {{m_{\rm{A}}} - {m_{\rm{B}}}} \right)g}}{{\left( {{m_{\rm{A}}} + {m_{\rm{B}}} + \frac{I}{{{R^2}}}} \right)}}  

\begin{array}{c}\\a = \frac{{\left( {7{\rm{ kg}} - 3{\rm{ kg}}} \right)\left( {9.81{\rm{ m/}}{{\rm{s}}^2}} \right)}}{{\left( {7{\rm{ kg}} + 3{\rm{ kg}} + \frac{{0.22{\rm{ kg/}}{{\rm{m}}^2}}}{{{{\left( {0.120{\rm{ m}}} \right)}^2}}}} \right)}}\\\\ = 1.55235{\rm{ m/}}{{\rm{s}}^2}\\\end{array}

Therefore, the linear acceleration of block A is 1.55 {\rm{ m/}}{{\rm{s}}^2}

(B)

For block B

{a_{\rm{B}}} = {a_{\rm{A}}}

Therefore, the acceleration of both blocks A and B are same

1.55 {\rm{ m/}}{{\rm{s}}^2}

(C)

The angular acceleration is \alpha = \frac{a}{R}

\begin{array}{c}\\\alpha = \frac{{1.55{\rm{ m/}}{{\rm{s}}^2}}}{{0.120{\rm{ m}}}}\\\\ = 12.92{\rm{ rad/}}{{\rm{s}}^2}\\\end{array}

(D)

Tension on left side of cord is calculated using

\begin{array}{c}\\{T_{\rm{B}}} = {m_{\rm{B}}}g + {m_{\rm{B}}}a\\\\ = {m_{\rm{B}}}\left( {g + a} \right)\\\end{array}

\begin{array}{c}\\{T_{\rm{B}}} = \left( {3{\rm{ kg}}} \right)\left( {9.81{\rm{ m/}}{{\rm{s}}^2} + 1.55{\rm{ m/}}{{\rm{s}}^2}} \right)\\\\ = 34.08{\rm{ N}}\\\end{array}

(E)

Tension on right side of cord is calculated using

\begin{array}{c}\\{T_{\rm{A}}} = {m_{\rm{A}}}g - {m_{\rm{A}}}a\\\\ = {m_{\rm{A}}}\left( {g - a} \right)\\\end{array}

\begin{array}{c}\\{T_{\rm{A}}} = \left( {7{\rm{ kg}}} \right)\left( {9.81{\rm{ m/}}{{\rm{s}}^2} – 1.55{\rm{ m/}}{{\rm{s}}^2}} \right)\\\\ = 57.82{\rm{ N}}\\\end{array}
