A roller coaster speeds up with constant acceleration for 2.3 s until it reaches a velocity of 35 m/s. During this time, the rol

Arada [10]

The initial velocity is 0.65 m/s

Explanation:

The motion of the roller coaster is a uniformly accelerated motion, so we can solve the problem by using the following suvat equation:

$s=(\frac{u+v}{2})t$

where

s is the displacement

u is the initial velocity

v is the final velocity

t is the time

For the roller coaster in this problem:

v = 35 m/s

t = 2.3 s

s = 41 m

Solving the equation for u, we find the initial velocity:

$u=\frac{2s}{t}-v=\frac{2(41)}{2.3}-35=0.65 m/s$

Name one contact force and one force that acts through a force field

nirvana33 [79]

A contact force is a type of force which act on an object by coming in contact with the object. Examples of contact force that acts through a force field are: applied force, frictional force, air resistance force, tension, spring force, etc.
Examples of forces that act through a force field are gravitational force, electromagnetic force, the weak interaction and the strong interaction.

A generator produces 60 A of current at 120 V. The voltage is usually stepped up to 4500 V by a transformer and transmitted thro

aalyn [17]

Answer:

The percentage power lost in the transmission line if the voltage not stepped up is 50%.

Explanation:

Given that,

Current = 60 A

Voltage = 120 V

Resistance = 1.0 ohm

We need to calculate the power

Using formula of power

$P=I\times V$

Where,I =current

V = voltage

Put the value into the formula

$P=60\times120$

$P=7200\ W$

We need to calculate the percentage power lost in the transmission line

If the voltage is not stepped up

Then, the power loss

$P'=I^2\times R$

Put the value into the formula

$P'=(60)^2\times1$

$P'=3600\ W$

The percentage power loss P''

$P''=\dfrac{P'}{P}\times100=\dfrac{3600}{7200}\times100$

$P''=50\%$

Hence, The percentage power lost in the transmission line if the voltage not stepped up is 50%.

"A thin film with an index of refraction of 1.50 is placed in one of the beams of a Michelson interferometer. If this causes a s

Tamiku [17]

Answer:

The film thickness is 4.32 * 10^-6 m

Explanation:

Here in this question, we are interested in calculating the thickness of the film.

Mathematically;

The number of fringes shifted when we insert a film of refractive index n and thickness L in the Michelson Interferometer is given as;

ΔN = (2L/λ) (n-1)

where λ is the wavelength of the light used

Let’s make L the subject of the formula

(λ * ΔN)/2(n-1) = L

From the question ΔN = 8 , λ = 540 nm, n = 1.5

Plugging these values, we have

L = ((540 * 10^-9 * 8)/2(1.5-1) = (4320 * 10^-9)/1 = 4.32 * 10^-6 m

rs. Rushing fills a balloon with hydrogen gas to demonstrate its ability to burn. Which combination could she use to produce the

anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

Mg and HCl

Explanation:

Here, we want to get the combination that could be used in the production of the needed hydrogen

An important chemical property of inorganic acids is that when they react with metals, they give off hydrogen gas in conjunction with the formation of a salt

HCl is a mineral acid while Mg is a metallic substance

So the reaction between this metal and the mineral acids will give the needed hydrogen gas to be produced
