A roller coaster track is a good example of the law of conservation of energy. Use this law to explain these facts about a rolle

r coaster track. a. The largest hill for a roller coaster track is the first hill on the track. The hills after the first are smaller and smaller. b. To get to the top of the first (highest) hill, a motor pulls the cars up to the top. After the top of the first hill, a motor is not needed to keep the cars going. c. The roller coaster car moves really fast at the bottom of a hill on the track but slows down as it moves up a hill (not including the first hill).

⦁ A car going 50 m/s is brought to rest in a distance of 20.0 m as it strikes a pile of dirt. How large an average force is exer
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

the average force exerted by seatbelts on the passenger is 5625 N.

Explanation:

Given;

initial velocity of the car, u = 50 m/s

distance traveled by the car, s = 20 m

final velocity of the after coming to rest, v = 0

mass of the passenger, m = 90 kg

Determine the acceleration of the car as it hit the pile of dirt;

v² = u² + 2as

0 = 50² + (2 x 20)a

0 = 2500 + 40a

40a = -2500

a = -2500/40

a = -62.5 m/s²

The deceleration of the car is 62.5 m/s²

The force exerted on the passenger by the backward action of the car is calculated as follows;

F = ma

F = 90 x 62.5

F = 5625 N

Therefore, the average force exerted by seatbelts on the passenger is 5625 N.

At which of the following angles will the sunlight received at a location on Earth spread out over the largest area?
AleksandrR [38]

The angle at which the sunlight received at a location on Earth spread out over the largest area is 10°. Last option is correct.

<h3>What is sunlight?</h3>

The light coming from the Sun reaching the Earth's surface is called as Sunlight.

When the sun is overhead, the intensity is high because sun's rays are perpendicular to the earth's surface, so the energy spreads over a small area and the heat is too high in that region.

When, the angle is smaller, the sunlight will spread out over a larger area.

Thus, at 10° the sunlight received at a location on Earth spread out over the largest area. Last option is correct.

A ball is thrown horizontally at a speed of 24 meters per second from the top of a cliff. if the ball hits the ground 4.0 second
Viktor [21]

Answer:

78.4 m

Explanation:

To obtain the height of the cliff;

We can use the Relation to obtain the final velocity, v

v = u + at

a = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s²

v = 0 + (9.8*4)

v = 0 + 39.2

v = 39.2 m/s

To obtain the Height, S

v² = u² + 2aS

39.2^2 = 0 + 2(9.8)S

39.2^2 = 0 + 19.6S

1536.64 = 19.6S

S = 1536.64 / 19.6

S = 78.4 m

6. A 2.2 kg rock rests on the edge of a bridge that is 3.3 m above a river. What is the
vovikov84 [41]

Answer: 71 J

Explanation: The formula for gravitational potential energy is Epg= mgh.

So you plug in 2.2 as m, 3.3 as h and 9.81 as g. Once you do that you should get an answer of 71.2206. But because there are only two significant digits in the question, your answer must also have two significant digits.

How can you determine the relative ages of the moon's maria and highlands? (select all that apply.)
Valentin [98]

The relative ages of the moon's maria and highlands can be determined through the following:

  • Radioactive dating
  • Crater density
  • Lava flows.

<h3>What is a Moon maria?</h3>

This is referred to as the early geologic units of the moon which arose from asteroid impact and subsequent volcanic activity.

The ages can be measured using techniques such as radioactive dating and crater density.
