How does mass effect potential and kinetic energy on a roller coaster?

Physics
1 answer:
PilotLPTM [1.2K]3 years ago
6 0
Potential energy is measured by mass * gravity * height. So, the larger the mass on a roller coaster, the more potential energy it has. 

Also, the higher it is, the more potential energy it has.

If sound waves require a medium (material) to vibrate in order to produce a sound, can sound waves travel in outer space? Why or
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Sound waves requires a medium (material) to vibrate in order to produce a sound. So sound waves cannot travel in outer space as it is vacuum.

Why is physics important to everyone? Describe 5 applications of physics in everyday life.
Sedaia [141]

1. Communication

   In early ages people were using letters to communicate between them. Now days instantly we can call one person from anywhere, these are based on optical fiber communication and it is an application of physics.

2. Transportation

  We can travel from place to anther place by aeroplane , these technologies are introduced after advancement in physics.

3. Construction

 Earlier people used to stay in small houses, now days apartments with many number of storeys are built by considering all the forces coming on the structure.

4. Medical Department

 The invention of many equipment increased the health of humans.

5. Weather forecasting

 The prediction of weather considering all the available factors, prediction of natural disasters all are application of physics.

Write a hypothesis about the effect of the wavelength on the diffraction angle. Use the "if . . . then . . . because . . ." form
adell [148]
A) Wavelength is the distance between two successful crests or troughs in a transverse wave or the distance between two successful compressions or rarefactions in a longitudinal wave. if the wavelength of a wave is long then the wave will diffracts more compared to a wave with a shorter wavelength because the size of the wavelength is proportional to the angle of diffraction. Such that if the gap is larger than the wavelength then the wave passes through the gap and does not spread much on the other side, while when the gap size is equal to the wavelength, maximum diffraction occurs and the waves spread greatly out.

b) Diffraction is a phenomenon that occurs when a wave encounters an obstacles or a slit. It is referred to as the bending of light around corners of an obstacles or aperture into the region of geometrical shadow of the obstacle. It is caused by one wave of light is shifted by the diffracting object which will in turn cause the wave to have interference with itself. (either constructive or destructive)
