Point 1 is PROBABLY higher up than point 4.

Another possibility is that on the way from Point 1 to point 4,
a lot of people are falling out of the coaster.

We have no way to tell, because you neglected to show us
the picture that goes with this question.  It's important.

Answer:

Potential energy is directly related to the height of an object. Point 1 is higher than point 4, so the potential energy is greater at point 1.

Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

\boxed{\text{\sf \Large 3.0 s}}

Explanation:

Use distance formula

\displaystyle d=ut+\frac{1}{2} at^2

u= \text{\sf  initial velocity}\\d= \text{\sf  distance}\\a= \text{\sf  acceleration}\\t= \text{\sf  time taken}

\displaystyle 18=0 \times t+\frac{1}{2} \times 4 \times t^2

t=3

Army is standing still on the ground; Bill is riding his bicycle at 5 m/s eastward: and Carlos is driving his car at 15 m/s west
Aleks04 [339]

Explanation:

Given that,

Bill is riding his bicycle at 5 m/s eastward: and Carlos is driving his car at 15 m/s westward.

Taking eastward as positive direction, we have:

v_B=+5\ m/sis the velocity of Bill with respect to Amy (which is stationary)

v_c=15\ m/s is the velocity of Carlos with respect to Amy.

Bill is moving 5 m/s eastward compared to Amy at rest, so the velocity of Bill's reference frame is

v_B=+5\ m/s

Therefore, Carlos velocity in Bill's reference frame will be

v_c'=-15\ m/s-(+5\ m/s)\\\\=-20\ m/s

So, the magnitude is 20 m/s and the direction is westward (negative sign).

A current of 9 A flows through an electric device with a resistance of 43 Ω. What must be the applied voltage in this particular
lubasha [3.4K]

Voltage, V = IR

Where I is current in Ampere, R is Resistance in Ohms.

V = 9A * 43 Ω

V = 387 V

When dots are placed on a page from a laser printer, they must be close enough so that you do not see the individual dots of ink
Dovator [93]

Answer:

 y <8 10⁻⁶ m

Explanation:

For this exercise, they indicate that we use the Raleigh criterion that establishes that two luminous objects are separated when the maximum diffraction of one of them coincides with the first minimum of the other.

 Therefore the diffraction equation for slits with m = 1 remains

             a sin θ = λ

in general these experiments occur for oblique angles so

             sin θ = θ

             θ = λ / a

in the case of circular openings we must use polar coordinates to solve the problem, the solution includes a numerical constant

           θ = 1.22 λ / a

The angles in these measurements are taken in radians, therefore

          θ = s / R

as the angle is small the arc approaches the distance s = y

          y / R = 1.22 λ / s

          y = 1.22 λ R / a

let's calculate

            y = 1.22 500 10⁻⁹ 0.42 / 0.032

            y = 8 10⁻⁶ m

with this separation the points are resolved according to the Raleigh criterion, so that it is not resolved (separated)

                 y <8 10⁻⁶ m

Convert 7.93 lbs into grams. Hint: 1 kg = 2.2 lbs
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

7.93 lbs is equal to 3596.987 grams.

Explanation:

The weight in grams is equal to the pounds multiplied by 453.59237.

So... you would multiply 7.93 by 453.59237.

7.93 x 453.59237 = 3596.987

Hope that helped!
