Determine the kinetic energy of a 10 Kg roller coaster car that is moving with a speed of 2m/s.

1 answer:

6 0

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

Assuming a typical efficiency for energy use by the body, how many slices of pizza must you eat to walk for 2.5 h at a speed of

larisa86 [58]

Answer:

2.7 Pizzas.

Explanation:

The power required to walk through 5km in 1 hour is 380W.

A watt is basically Jules per second, then we need to standardized this measurement to second.

5km/hr is equal to,

$\frac{5km}{hr}*\frac{1hr}{3600s}*\frac{1000m}{1km}=1.389m/s$

Walking by 2.5 hours is equal to a distance of,

$d=v*t=1.389*(2.5*3600) = 12500m$

The total energy required then would be,

$E = \frac{380J}{1.389m/s}(12500)=3.4199*10^6J$

Then we know that one pizza slice gives $1260*10^3J$ of energy, the total pizza needed are,

$\eta = \frac{3.4199*10^6}{1260*10^3} = 2.7142$

<em>Then you need to buy 3 pizza.</em>

A runner runs 300 m at an average speed of 3.0 m/s. She then runs another 300m at an average

Kaylis [27]

Answer:

B. 4 m/s

Explanation:

v=d/t

Running for 300 m at 3 m/s takes 100 seconds and running at 300 m at 6 m/s takes 50 seconds. 100 s + 50 s = 150 s (total time). Total distance is 600 m, so 600 m/ 150 s = 4 m/s.

A vertical wire carries a current straight down. To the east of this wire, the magnetic field points: A) toward the east. B) tow

geniusboy [140]

Answer:

option E

Explanation:

the correct answer is option E

the direction of magnetic field will be found out with the help of right hand rule.

Put you palm in the direction of electric field and curl your finger in the direction of magnetic field which east direction.

now, the direction shown by the thumb will be the direction of magnetic field which comes out to be toward South direction.
