Answer:

The height will be 4 times.

Explanation:

Given that,

The speed at the bottom of the hill doubled.

We need to calculate the height

Using conservation of energy

K.E_{t}+P.E_{t}=K.E_{b}+P.E_{b}

K.E_{b}=P.E_{t}

\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2=mgh

\dfrac{1}{2}m(4v^2)=mgh

Therefore,

P.E = mg(4h)

Here, m and g are constant

Hence, The height will be 4 times.

A man is standing on a weighing machine on a ship which is bobbing up and down with simple harmonic motion of period T=15.0s.Ass
STALIN [3.7K]

Well, first of all, one who is sufficiently educated to deal with solving
this exercise is also sufficiently well informed to know that a weighing
machine, or "scale", should not be calibrated in units of "kg" ... a unit
of mass, not force.  We know that the man's mass doesn't change,
and the spectre of a readout in kg that is oscillating is totally bogus.

If the mass of the man standing on the weighing machine is 60kg, then
on level, dry land on Earth, or on the deck of a ship in calm seas on Earth,
the weighing machine will display his weight as  588 newtons  or as 
132.3 pounds.  That's also the reading as the deck of the ship executes
simple harmonic motion, at the points where the vertical acceleration is zero.

If the deck of the ship is bobbing vertically in simple harmonic motion with
amplitude of M and period of 15 sec, then its vertical position is 

                                     y(t) = y₀ + M sin(2π t/15) .

The vertical speed of the deck is     y'(t) = M (2π/15) cos(2π t/15)

and its vertical acceleration is          y''(t) = - (2πM/15) (2π/15) sin(2π t/15)

                                                                = - (4 π² M / 15²)  sin(2π t/15)

                                                                = - 0.1755 M sin(2π t/15) .

There's the important number ... the  0.1755 M.
That's the peak acceleration.
From here, the problem is a piece-o-cake.

The net vertical force on the intrepid sailor ... the guy standing on the
bathroom scale out on the deck of the ship that's "bobbing" on the
high seas ... is (the force of gravity) + (the force causing him to 'bob'
harmonically with peak acceleration of  0.1755 x amplitude).

At the instant of peak acceleration, the weighing machine thinks that
the load upon it is a mass of  65kg, when in reality it's only  60kg.
The weight of 60kg = 588 newtons.
The weight of 65kg = 637 newtons.
The scale has to push on him with an extra (637 - 588) = 49 newtons
in order to accelerate him faster than gravity.

Now I'm going to wave my hands in the air a bit:

Apparent weight = (apparent mass) x (real acceleration of gravity)

(Apparent mass) = (65/60) = 1.08333 x real mass.

Apparent 'gravity' = 1.08333 x real acceleration of gravity.

The increase ... the 0.08333 ... is the 'extra' acceleration that's due to
the bobbing of the deck.

                        0.08333 G  =  0.1755 M

The 'M' is what we need to find.

Divide each side by  0.1755 :          M = (0.08333 / 0.1755) G

'G' = 9.0 m/s²
                                       M = (0.08333 / 0.1755) (9.8) =  4.65 meters .

That result fills me with an overwhelming sense of no-confidence.
But I'm in my office, supposedly working, so I must leave it to others
to analyze my work and point out its many flaws.
In any case, my conscience is clear ... I do feel that I've put in a good
5-points-worth of work on this problem, even if the answer is wrong .

Evaluate the use of hydrogen as a fuel. Explain how hydrogen is produced. Write about the environmental impact of using diesel a
nadya68 [22]

Explanation:

hydrogen is primarily produce by steam reforming of natural gas... Methane reacts with steam under 3 -25 bar pressure in the presence of a catalyst to "Produce Hydrogen " , carbon monoxide, and the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide. For steam to proceed, heat must be supplied to the process. Furthermore , new research from Transport & Environment shows that diesel cars not only pollute the air but also emit more climate change emissions (co2) than petroleum gas cars whenever compared to diesel fueled vehicles lifetime. In fact, diesel engines emits 3.65 tonnes of co2 more than a petrol engine equivalent.

How does mass affect density? How does volume affect density?
Musya8 [376]

Answer:

Here's the Density Formula:  D = M/V

Q: How does mass affect density?

A: <em>Mass is a factor in density, the density is proportional to the mass. So as the mass increases, so does the density, provided the volume remains constant.</em>

Q: How does volume affect density?

A:<em> If an object has a larger mass than its volume it has a high density, if an object has a smaller mass than its volume it has a lower density.</em>

Explanation:

<em><u>I really Hope this Helps!!</u></em>
