What are two ways friction can be reduced and what is one way friction can slow down a roller coaster?

1 answer:

5 0

I'm assuming that those are two separate questions.

First, you can reduce friction by either changing the temperature, considering the way the subjects react, or you can check the lubricant characteristics, considering their material and/ or texture.

Secondly, a roller coaster may slow down using friction by joining two different materials. It may be metal gripping onto metal, or a bar preventing the roller coaster to continue moving. This may also be how the roller coaster slows down before entering a new action/ scene.

An object is moving along a straight line, and the uncertainty in its position is 1.90 m.

just olya [345]

Answer:

$2.78\times 10^{-35}\ \text{kg m/s}$

$6.178\times 10^{-34}\ \text{m/s}$

$0.31\times 10^{-4}\ \text{m/s}$

Explanation:

$\Delta x$ = Uncertainty in position = 1.9 m

$\Delta p$ = Uncertainty in momentum

h = Planck's constant = $6.626\times 10^{-34}\ \text{Js}$

m = Mass of object

From Heisenberg's uncertainty principle we know

$\Delta x\Delta p\geq \dfrac{h}{4\pi}\\\Rightarrow \Delta p\geq \dfrac{h}{4\pi\Delta x}\\\Rightarrow \Delta p\geq \dfrac{6.626\times 10^{-34}}{4\pi\times 1.9}\\\Rightarrow \Delta p\geq 2.78\times 10^{-35}\ \text{kg m/s}$

The minimum uncertainty in the momentum of the object is $2.78\times 10^{-35}\ \text{kg m/s}$

Golf ball minimum uncertainty in the momentum of the object

$m=0.045\ \text{kg}$

Uncertainty in velocity is given by

$\Delta p\geq m\Delta v\geq 2.78\times 10^{-35}\\\Rightarrow \Delta v\geq \dfrac{2.78\times 10^{-35}}{m}\\\Rightarrow \Delta v\geq \dfrac{2.78\times 10^{-35}}{0.045}\\\Rightarrow \Delta v\geq 6.178\times 10^{-34}\ \text{m/s}$

The minimum uncertainty in the object's velocity is $6.178\times 10^{-34}\ \text{m/s}$

Electron

$m=9.11\times 10^{-31}\ \text{kg}$

$\Delta v\geq \dfrac{\Delta p}{m}\\\Rightarrow \Delta v\geq \dfrac{2.78\times 10^{-35}}{9.11\times 10^{-31}}\\\Rightarrow \Delta v\geq 0.31\times 10^{-4}\ \text{m/s}$

The minimum uncertainty in the object's velocity is $0.31\times 10^{-4}\ \text{m/s}$ .

Explain the difference between general intelligence and specific intelligence.

Olegator [25]

Answer:

General intelligence refers to the existence of a broad mental capacity that influences performance on cognitive ability measures.

Specific intelligence refers to a person's aptitude in individual 'modalities' or abilities rather than the more general understanding of intelligence.

With the piston head locked in place, will the volume of the gas increase, decrease, or stay the same whenthe piston is placed a

Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

For real gas the volume of a given mass of gas will increase with increase in temperature.

Explanation:

With the piston head locked in place and place above the fire,the volume of the gas will increase,because the volume of a given mass of gas increases with increase temperature.

Suppose Earth's gravitational force were decreased by half. How would this change affect a game of basketball? Write a paragraph

timama [110]

If the gravitational force were<span> decreased by half, there would be lack of gravity on earth. Hence, it would basically affect the velocity, speed, and the distance travelled in any direction by basketball players and the ball. The basketball would bounce higher and come down in a slower speed. Whereas for the players, they would be able to leap higher from the floor.</span><span> </span>

The light from the Sun heats a metal surface. This is an example of what?

Sedaia [141]

Radiation. That's perhaps the only way that energy gets from the Sun to the earth. The space between the two is a vacuum, so conduction is more or less out as is convection. There's no obvious sign of mirrors, so reflection seems to be out as well.
