True, Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles of a substance. The higher the temperature of an object, the higher is its kinetic energy. Kinetic energy is a type of energy associated with motion.

A 1210 kg rollercoaster car is

ratelena [41]

Answer: 4.98 m/s

Explanation:

You solve these kinetic energy, potential energy problems by using the fact P.E.+ K.E. = a constant as long as friction is ignored.

PEi = 0 in this case

KEi = ½mVi² = PEf+KEf = mghf + ½mVf²

½1210*8.31² = 1210*9.8*2.26 + ½1210*Vf²

½1210*Vf² = ½1210*8.31² - 1210*9.8*2.26

Vf² = 8.31² - 2*9.8*2.26 = 4.98² so Vf = 4.98m/s

To test the performance of its tires, a car

velikii [3]

Answer:

The coefficient of static friction between the tires and the road is 1.987

Explanation:

Given:

Radius of the track, r = 516 m

Tangential Acceleration $a_r$ = 3.89 m/s^2

Speed,v = 32.8 m/s

To Find:

The coefficient of static friction between the tires and the road = ?

Solution:

The radial Acceleration is given by,

$a_{R = \frac{v^2}{r}$

$a_{R = \frac{(32.8)^2}{516}$

$a_{R = \frac{(1075.84)}{516}$

$a_{R = 2.085 m/s^2$

Now the total acceleration is

$\text{ total acceleration} = \sqrt{\text{(tangential acceleration)}^2 +{\text{(Radial acceleration)}^2$

=> $= \sqrt{ (a_r)^2+(a_R)^2}$

=> $\sqrt{ (3.89 )^2+( 2.085)^2}$

=> $\sqrt{ (15.1321)+(4.347)^2}$

=> $19.4791 m/s^2$

The frictional force on the car will be f = ma------------(1)

And the force due to gravity is W = mg--------------------(2)

Now the coefficient of static friction is

$\mu =\frac{f}{W}$

From (1) and (2)

$\mu =\frac{ma}{mg}$

$\mu =\frac{a}{g}$

Substituting the values, we get

$\mu =\frac{19.4791}{9.8}$

$\mu =1.987$

Which is the best example of potential energy?

svetoff [14.1K]

First one, holding a basketball in the air. Potential energy is the energy it has mostly from gravity. The further you go from the center of mass, the more energy.

How do Air molecules enable sound to travel from a radios speaker to your ears?

MatroZZZ [7]

The radio frequencies push one air molecule that then bumps into a different air molecule.....which then hits another and another causing a line of crashing molecules that lead inside your ear and hits your ear drum causing it to vibrate which causes the sounds.
