As the roller coaster speeds up on the way down the hill, the potential energy of  roller coaster will be converted to kinetic energy.

<h3>What is Conservation of Energy ?</h3>

Conservation of energy state that energy is neither created nor destroy, they can only be transformed from one form to another. Energy of and object can transform from Potential energy to kinetic energy and vice versa

Given that at the top of a hill a roller coaster has gravitational potential energy due to its position. What will happen to this potential energy as the roller coaster speeds up on the way down the hill is that the potential energy to the roller coaster will start decreasing while the kinetic energy will start to increase.

The total energy of the roller coaster will be constant because of conservation of energy. As the roller coaster speeds up on the way down the hill, the potential energy will eventually reduce to zero where the total energy of the as the roller coaster will be equal to maximum kinetic energy.

Therefore, as the roller coaster speeds up on the way down the hill, the potential energy of  roller coaster will be converted to kinetic energy.

Answer:

The charge flows in coulombs is

dq=1.843x10^{-5}C

Explanation:

The current magnitude of current is given by the resistance and the induced Emf as:

I=N*\frac{dF}{Rdt}

\frac{dq}{dt}=\frac{dF}{Rdt}=dq=N*\frac{dF}{R}

dq=\frac{N*\beta*A*(Cos(\alpha_f)-Cos(\alpha_i}{R}

N=1300, \beta=0.703, A=\pi*r^2=\pi*0.10^2=0.01\pi m^2, R=99.4+202=301.4Ω

\alpha_f=14.6,\alpha_i=165.4

Replacing :

dq=\frac{1300*0.703x10^{-4}*0.01\pi*(0.9667-(-0.9667))}{202+99.4}

dq=1.843x10^{-5}C

What is the process called in which water vapor and carbon dioxide retain heat
antoniya [11.8K]

The process in which water vapor and carbon dioxide retain heat is called the greenhouse effect.

<span>There are many gases which causes greenhouse effect like carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, fluorinated gases etc. These gases trap the heat in the atmosphere, resulting the surface of earth to get warm producing greenhouse effect.</span>

svetoff [14.1K]

Work done against gravity to climb upwards is always stored in the form of gravitational potential energy

so we can say

W = mgh

here h = vertical height raised

so here we know that

h = 14.1 sin7.3 km

here we have

h = 1.79 km

now from above equation

W = (83 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)(1.79 \times 10^3 m)

W = 1.46 \times 10^6 J

so work done will be given by above value
