(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.

(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

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the kinematic equations of motion.

By definition we know that the position of a body is given by

$x=x_0+v_0t+at^2$

Where

$x_0 =$ Initial position

$v_0 =$ Initial velocity

a = Acceleration

t= time

And the velocity can be expressed as,

$v_f = v_0 + at$

Where,

$v_f = Final velocity$

For our case we have that there is neither initial position nor initial velocity, then

$x= at^2$

With our values we have $x = 401.4m, t=4.945s$ , rearranging to find a,

$a=\frac{x}{t^2}$

$a = \frac{ 401.4}{4.945^2}$

$a = 16.41m/s^2$

Therefore the final velocity would be

$v_f = v_0 + at$

$v_f = 0 + (16.41)(4.945)$

$v_f = 81.14m/s$

Therefore the final velocity is 81.14m/s

liq [111]

Answer:

150153.06122 N

Explanation:

m = Mass of person = 75 kg

h = Height of fall = 1 m

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

F = Force

s = Displacement = 0.49 cm

Potential energy is given by

$P=mgh\\\Rightarrow P=75\times 9.81\times 1\\\Rightarrow P=735.75\ J$

Work is given by

$W=Fs\\\Rightarrow F=\frac{W}{s}\\\Rightarrow F=\frac{735.75}{0.0049}\\\Rightarrow F=150153.06122\ N$

The average force exerted is 150153.06122 N
