(a) The work required to get the coaster to the top of the first hill is  1,594,538.4 J.

(b) The power required to bring the train to the top of the first hill is 39,863.46 W.

(c) The energy lost when the coaster drops is 531,512.8 J.

(d) The left at the bottom is determined as 1,063,025.6 J.

<h3>Work done to bring the rollercoaster top of the hill</h3>

W = Fn x d = mgh

W = 3874 x 9.8 x 42

W = 1,594,538.4 J

<h3>Power dissipated in bringing the rollercoaster on top hill</h3>

P = Fv

P = Fd/t

P = W/t

P = 1,594,538.4 /40 = 39,863.46 W

<h3>Energy lost when the coaster drops</h3>

E = 1,594,538.4 - (3874 x 9.8 x 28)

E = 531,512.8 J

<h3>Energy left at the bottom</h3>

E = 3874 x 9.8 x 28 = 1,063,025.6 J

Zinaida [17]

Answer:

Membrane potential

Explanation:

Membrane potential is describes the difference in electrical charge across a membrane.                                                                                                              

The difference in potential between exterior  and  interior of the  biological cell is known as Membrane potential.Generally it is denoted by  millivolts like mV and varies from -80 V to -40 V.

So the answer is Membrane potential

andrew11 [14]

Answer:

D. 371 N

Explanation:

Friction force equals normal force times the coefficient of friction:

F = Nμ

Since the ground is level, normal force equals weight:

N = mg

Therefore:

F = mgμ

F = (61 kg) (9.8 m/s²) (0.62)

F = 371 N
