Why are the wheels on a roller coaster hot after a ride. (I know it’s due to friction but I need more of a detailed answer).

1 answer:

8 0

2 someone's glasses could fall of because of the inertia
roller coaster is in motion but your glasses are opposing and resisting that motion due to inertia....

1 there is a possibility that electrons move from wheels to the rail and vice versa which also means that it is producing some kind of electrical energy

Sammy squirrel is steering his boat at a heading of 327 degree at 18mph. The current is flowing at 4mph at a heading of 60 degre

Tanya [424]

Answer:

59.97 º at 18.23 mph

Explanation:

To find Sammy's course you have to add the two velocities (vectors), 18 mph 327º and 4 mph 60º.

To add the two vectors analytically you decompose each vector into their vertical and horizontal components.

1. 18 mph 327º

Horizontal component: 18 mph × cos (327º) = 15.10 mph

Vertical component: 18 mph × sin (327º) = - 9.80 mph

Vector notation:

$15.10\hat i-9.80\hat j$

2. 4 mph 60º

Horizontal component: 4 mph × cos (60º) = 2.00 mph

Vertical component: 4 mph × sin (60º) = 3.46 mph

Vector notation:

$2.00\hat i+3.46\hat j$

3. Addition:

You add the corresponding components:

$15.10\hat i-9.80\hat j+2.00\hat i+3.46\hat j\\ \\ 17.10\hat i-6.34\hat j$

To find the magnitude use Pythagorean theorem:

$\sqrt{17.1^2+6.34^2}= 18.23$

4. Direction:

Use the tangent ratio:

$tan(\alpha )=opposite/adjacent=3.46/2.00=1.73$

Find the inverse:

arctan (1.73) ≈ 59.97º

An electron is moving horizontally east in an electric field that points vertically downward. The electric force on the electron

saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

d. )directed upward.

Explanation:

As the electron has a negative charge, when under the influence of an electric field, is subject to an electric force, which direction is the opposite to the direction of the electric field.

This is because the electric field has the same direction that the force on a positive test charge at the same point.

As the electric field points vertically downward, the electric force on the electron (a negative charge) points vertically upward.

So, the statement d. is the one that results to be true.

What resistance is needed to cause a 20A current flow with a 100V battery?

timurjin [86]

Resistance = (voltage) / (current)

Resistance = (100 V) / (20 A)

Resistance = 5 Ω (D)
