A 100 kg roller coaster car is located at the top of a hill where the height is 20 m. What is the velocity when it reaches the b

The velocity of the car at the bottom of the hill=19.8 m/s

mass= 100 kg

height= h=20 m

Velocity at the bottom=V

Using the law of conservation of energy

potential energy at top = kinetic energy at the bottom

m g h= 1/2 m v²

g h= 1/2 v²

9.8 (20)=1/2 V²

V=19.8 m/s

Thus the velocity of car at the bottom of hill=19.8 m/s

John and mary are skating at an ice rink. john skates at a constant speed of 6.7 m/s, with respect to the ice surface, directly
iragen [17]
60.3° from due south and 5.89 m/s    For this problem, first calculate a translation that will put John's destination directly on the origin and apply that translation to Mary's destination. Then the vector from the origin to Mary's new destination will be the relative vector of Mary as compared to John. So John is traveling due south at 6.7 m/s. After 1 second, he will be at coordinates (0,-6.7). The translation will be (0,6.7)  Mary is traveling 28° West of due south. So her location after 1 second will be  (-sin(28)*10.9, -cos(28)*10.9) = (-5.117240034, -9.624128762)  After translating that coordinate up by 6.7, you get  (-5.117240034, -2.924128762)  The tangent of the angle will be 2.924128762/5.117240034 = 0.57142693  The arc tangent is atan(0.57142693) = 29.74481039° Subtract that value from 90 since you want the complement of the angle which is now 60.25518961°    So Mary is traveling 60.3° relative to due south as seen from John's point of view.  The magnitude of her relative speed is  sqrt(-5.117240034^2 + -2.924128762^2) = 5.893783 m/s    Rounding the results to 3 significant digits results in 60.3° and 5.89 m/s

According to principle of conservation of energy, the total momentum of a system of masses in any direction remains constant unl
Sergeu [11.5K]
The principle of conservation of energy states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed, but can be changed from one form to another. The law of inertia on the other hand states that a body remains at a state of rest or motion on a straight line unless compelled by an external force. So i think that the answer is B, which is FALSE because the question is more related to the law of inertia(Newtons first law) than to the law of conservation of energy. Hope i helped.

How did rutherford’s experiment shape our current model of the atom?
marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Before the Rutherford's model of the atom, the plum pudding model proposed by J.J Thomson through his experiment using the gas discharge tube was the prevalent structure of the atom known.

Through Thomson, it was widely and popularly believed that the atom is made up of a pool of negatively charged particles.

When Rutherford performed the Alpha scattering experiment using a thing gold foil, he observed that all the alpha particles passed through the thin gold foil and just a few of them were deflected back.

To explain this, the suggested the atomic or nuclear model of that atom in which an atom has a small positively charged center called nucleus where all the mass is concentrated.

Today, the suggestion that an atom is made up of nucleus is highly relevant and still consistent.

How much energy is used when a 110kw appliance is used for 3 hours
Bogdan [553]
We could take the easy way out and just say

(110 kW) x (3 hours) = 330 kilowatt hours .

But that's cheap, and hardly worth even 5 points.
If we want to talk energy, let's use the actual scientific unit of energy.
________________________________________________

" 110 kw " means 110,000 watts = 110,000 joules/second .

(3 hours) x (3600 sec/hour) = 10,800 seconds.

(110,000 joules/second) x (10,800 seconds) = 1.188 x 10⁹ Joules

 That's

==>  1,188,000,000 joules

==>  1,188,000 kilojoules

==>  1,188 megajoules

==>  1.188 gigajoules

Atsa nawfulotta energy ! 
It goes back to that "110 kw appliance" that we started with. 
That's no common ordinary household appliance.  110 kw is something like
147 horsepower.  In order to bring 110 kw into your house, you'd need to
take 458 Amperes through the 240-volt line from the pole.  Most houses
are limited to 100 or 200 Amperes, tops.  And the TRANSFORMER on
the pole, that supplies the whole neighborhood, is probably a 50 kw unit.
