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.

A 73.0 kg firefighter climbs a flight of stairs 9.0 m high. how much work is required? j
pshichka [43]
The strength of the fireman in vertical direction will be given by F = m * g. Then, the work done will be given by definition by W = F * d. Substituting the expression of the Force in that of the work, we have that the work will be W = m * g * d. Substituting the given values and assuming that g = 10m / s ^ 2, we have a total work of W = (73) * (10) * (9) = 6570 J

A car is driving down the highway at a 50 m/s. Suddenly, the driver sees an accident and slams on his breaks, coming to a comple
vlada-n [284]

Given parameters:

Speed of the car = 50m/s

Time  = 10s

Unknown:

Distance traveled before the car stopped = ?

We need to establish speed - time - distance relationship.

Speed is the rate of change of distance with time. It is a scalar quantity .

Mathematically;

            Speed  = \frac{distance}{time}

    Distance  = speed x time

Input the parameters and solve;

    Distance  = 50 x 10  = 500m

The car traveled 500m before it stopped.

Is sugar cane a renewable or non-renewable source of energy? And why?
baherus [9]
It is renewable because unless we have a whole world drought or all the sugar cane seeds die, we will always be able to reproduce and grow more - therefore renewable!
