You have been hired to design a spring-launched roller coaster that will carry two passengers per car. The car goes up a 13-m-hi

Andrew [12]

Answer:

22.15 N/m

Explanation:

As we know potential energy = m*g*h

Potential energy of spring = (1/2)kx^2

m*g*h = (1/2)kx^2

Substituting the given values, we get -

(400)*(9.8)*(10) = (0.5)*(k)*(2.0^2)

k = 39200/2.645

k = 19600 N/m

For safety reasons, this spring constant is increased by 13 % So the new spring constant is

k = 19600 * 1.13 = 22148 N/m = 22.15 N/m

A ray of light is incident on a flat surface of a block of polystyrene, with an index of refraction of 1.49, that is submerged i

Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

21.5°

Explanation:

Given,

Refractive index of water, n₁ = 1.33

Refractive index of polystyrene, n₂ = 1.49

Angle of reflection = ?

Angle of refraction = 19.1°

Using Snell's law

n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂ sin θ₂

1.33 x sin θ₁ = 1.49 x sin 19.1°

sin θ₁ = 0.366

θ₁ = 21.5°

According to law of reflection angle of incidence is equal to angle of reflection.

Angle of reflection = 21.5°

Can you help me understand force=mass x accleration

gavmur [86]

Force = mass * acceleration

Here is an equation for force, used to calculate force.

Look at it this way:-

Joules is used to measure force, while mass is measured by kg. Acceleration is measured by m/s/s (meters per second per second, or meters per second squared.)

joules = m/s/s * kg

Which makes everything fit in just right! :D

A finch rides on the back of a Galapagos tortoise, which walks at the stately pace of 0.060 m/s. After 1.1 minutes, the finch ti

Romashka [77]

Answer:

Average Speed = 6.37 m/s

Explanation:

The average speed is simply given by the following formula:

Average Speed = Total Distance Traveled/Total Time Spent

here,

Total Time Spent = 1.1 min + 1.5 min = (2.6 min)(60 s/min) = 156 s

Now, for total distance, we have to calculate the distance traveled on tortoise and distance traveled while flying, separately. Therefore,

Distance Traveled on Tortoise = (Time spent on Tortoise)(Speed of Tortoise)

Distance Traveled on Tortoise = (1.1 min)(60 s/min)(0.06 m/s) = 3.96 m

Similarly,

Flying Distance = (Flying Time)(Flying Speed) = (1.5 min)(60 s/min)(11 m/s)

Flying Distance = 990 m

Since, total distance is the sum of both distances, therefore,

Total Distance = 3.96 m + 990 m = 993.96 m

Now, using the values in equation of average speed, we get:

Average Speed = 993.96 m/156 s

<u>Average Speed = 6.37 m/s</u>
