Write the answer to this question. Energy is measured in units called joules(J). Suppose a roller coaster car starts with 78,000

J of potential energy. In a few seconds, it converts two-thirds of this energy into kinetic energy. As it takes a curve, the car doubles its kinetic energy. How much mechanical energy does the car now have?

Answer:78,000 J

Explanation:

Given

Initial Potential Energy P=78,000 J=78 kJ

Total Energy=Potential Energy+Kinetic Energy

initially kinetic energy is zero therefore

Total Energy=Potential Energy

If two-thirds of this energy converts to kinetic Energy

i.e. kinetic Energy =\frac{2}{3}\times 78=2\times 26=52 kJ

As it take curve its kinetic Energy doubles i.e.2\times 52=104 kJ

but total Energy is constant i.e. 78 kJ

therefore there must be a decrease in Potential energy of coaster

78=104+P.E.

P.E.=-26 kJ

Mechanical Energy of car is =sum of kinetic and Potential Energy

=78 kJ=78,000 J

Answer:

9V

Explanation:

The potential difference across the terminal as the same and thats because we are assuming that the source has no internal resistance.

Internal resistance are usually little resistances in the supply.

a 700k/g race car slowed down from 30m/s to 15m/s what is the impulse and what was the average force applied by the brakes
posledela
So impulse is a change in momentum.

Mass*(final velocity - initial velocity)

I dont think you will be able to find the average force with the given info because you need to know the time it takes for the car to slow down.
