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

Are There some sounds for which we are all deaf
lana66690 [7]

Answer: Infrasound is the span of low-frequency sounds below 20 Hz that fall below the hearing range of humans. While these sounds escape our ears, scientific instruments can detect them—and tell us some interesting things about the planet.

From what height must an oxygen molecule fall in a vacuum so that its kinetic energy at the bottom equals the average energy of
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

The  value is  h  = 11930 \ m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The  temperature is  T  =  300 \  K

     

Generally the root mean square speed of the  oxygen molecules is mathematically represented as

        v  =  \sqrt{\frac{3 *  R  *  T }{M} }  =  \sqrt{ 2 *  g  *  h }

Here  R is the gas constant with a value  R  =  8.314 \  J\cdot K^{-1} \cdot \  mol^{-1}

    M  is the molar mass of oxygen molecule with value M  =  0.032 \  kg /mol

So  

     \frac{3 *  8.314   *  300 }{0.032}   =  2 *  9.8  *  h

=>    h  = 11930 \ m

Type the correct answer in the box. use numerals instead of words. anne has a sample of a substance. its volume is 20 cm3, and i
CaHeK987 [17]

The density of sample is 5 g/cm3

Given:

volume of sample = 20 cm3

mass of sample = 100 grams

To Find:

density of sample

Solution: Density is the measure of how much “stuff” is in a given amount of space. For example, a block of the heavier element lead (Pb) will be denser than the softer, lighter element gold (Au). A block of Styrofoam is less dense than a brick. It is defined as mass per unit volume

density = mass/volume

d = 100/20

d = 5 g/cm3

So, density of sample is 5 g/cm3

HELP MY GRADES-
belka [17]
If you count the number of seconds between the flash of lightning and the sound of thunder, and then divide by 5, you'll get the distance in miles to the lightning: 5 seconds = 1 mile, 15 seconds = 3 miles, 0 seconds = very close. Keep in mind that you should be in a safe place while counting.

What is the term for substances that have several unpaired electrons and are strongly magnetic
Murljashka [212]

Answer:

Scientific definitions for ferromagnetic

The property of being strongly attracted to either pole of a magnet. Ferromagnetic materials, such as iron, contain unpaired electrons, each with a small magnetic field of its own, that align readily with each other in response to an external magnetic field.
