On a roller coaster ride the total mass of a cart - with two passengers included - is 319 kg. Peak K is at 43.6 m above the grou

nd and peak L is at 24.4 m. At location K the speed of the cart is 16.4 m/s, and at location L it is 12.4 m/s. (The wheel mechanism on roller coaster carts always keeps the carts safely on the rail.) How much mechanical energy is lost due to friction between the two peaks?

The mechanical energy is lost due to friction between the two peak is 78,458.688 J

<h3>What is mechanical energy?</h3>

The mechanical energy is the sum of kinetic energy and the potential energy of an object at any instant of time.

M.E = KE +PE

Given is a roller coaster ride the total mass of a cart - with two passengers included - is 319 kg. Peak K is at 43.6 m above the ground and peak L is at 24.4 m. At location K the speed of the cart is 16.4 m/s, and at location L it is 12.4 m/s.

Total energy at peak K,

TE₁ = 1/2 mv₁² +mgh₁

Substitute the values, we get

TE₁ =  1/2 x319 x 16.4² +319 x 9.81 x 43.6

TE₁ = 179,340. 524 J

Total energy at peak L,

TE₂ = 1/2 mv₂² +mgh₂

Substitute the values, we get

TE₂ =  1/2 x319 x 12.4² +319 x 9.81 x 24.4

TE₂ = 100,881. 836 J

The mechanical energy lost is

M.E =  TE₁ -TE₂

M.E =  179,340. 524 J -  100,881. 836 J

M.E = 78,458.688 J

Thus, the mechanical energy is lost due to friction between the two peak i

A ball player catches a ball 3.2 s after throwing it vertically upward. what height did it reach?
cluponka [151]

At the top of the height, the velocity is zero and acceleration is negative of acceleration due to gravity ( i.e  -9.8 m/s^2).

The time of the ball in air is 3.2 s, so ascending time is 3.2/2=1.6 s.

Therefore from kinematic equation,

v = u + gt

Substituting the values we get,

0= u - 9.8 (1.6)\\\\u=15.7 m/s, Here v = 0 at top.

Now from equation,

h=ut+\frac{1}{2} gt^2,  here h is the height .

So,

h=(15.7 m/s) (1.6s)-\frac{1}{2} 9.8m/s^2(1.6)^2\\\\ h=25.12m-12.54m\\\\h=12.48 m.

Thus, the ball reached at its maximum height of 12.48 m.

tiny-mole [99]

Let us assume that the definition of frequency, wavelength and wave speed is determined by the function

f = \frac{v}{\lambda}

Here,

v = Velocity of wave

\lambda = Wavelength

f = Frequency

We know that the earth has the ability to absorb visible light but that it can also emit a longer radiation wavelength. This assessment allows us to confirm that option A. Is correct. In turn, if said wavelength is large, being inversely proportional to the frequency,

\lambda \propto \frac{1}{f}

This does tend to be lower radiation. The correct options are:

A.The earth absorbs visible light and emits radiation with a longer wavelength.

B.The earth absorbs visible light and emits radiation with a lower frequency.

Answer:

The vertical distance traveled is 3.18 m.

Explanation:

In order to find the vertical distance traveled by a body in free fall motion, starting from rest to a velocity of 7.9 m/s. For this purpose, we use Newton's third equation of motion,

2as = Vf² - Vi²

where,

a = g = 9.8 m/s²

s = vertical distance = Δy = ?

Vf = final velocity = 7.9 m/s

Vi = initial velocity = 0 m/s

Therefore,

2(9.8 m/s²)Δy = (7.9 m/s)² - (0 m/s)²

Δy =  (7.9 m/s)²/(2)(9.8 m/s²)

<u>Δy =  3.18 m</u>
