Answer:
v = 12.12 m/s
Explanation:
Given that,
The mass of the cart, m = 75 kg
The roller coaster begins 15 m above the ground.
We need to find the velocity of the cart halfway to the ground. Let the velocity be v. Using the conservation of energy at this position, h = 15/2 = 7.5 m
So, the velocity of the cart is 12.12 m/s.
Answer:
15.8 seconds
Explanation:
Create an extended calculation to convert all the unit to what you need.
160 km 1000 m 1 hour 1 min
----------- x ------------- x -------------- x ---------- = 44.4 m/s
1 hour 1 km 60 min 60 sec
So 160km/hr is equal to 44.4m/s
Now you can figure out how many seconds it will take to go 700 meters.
44.4 m
---------- X x sec = 700 m
1 sec
Solve for x sec
x sec = 700m / 44.4 m/s
= 15.8 seconds
Energy and Work have the same unit of measurement which is Joules in SI units.
Explanation:
- A Joule of Work is said to be done on an object when energy is transferred to that particular object.
- If two objects are involved, when one object transfers energy onto the second, a joule of work is said to be done by the first object.
- Work is also the application of force on an object over a distance. So Work = Force × Displacement
- Energy is neither created nor destroyed. It is in 2 forms - kinetic and potential.
- Kinetic energy is defined as the energy of a moving object while potential energy is known as the energy that is stored within an object.
- Kinetic Energy = 1/2 × mass × (velocity)²
- Potential Energy = mass × acceleration due to gravity × height
- Both energy and work are measured in Joules.
