Roller coasters work by utilizing its potential energy. Potential energy is "lost" as the cars lose height, subsequently gaining kinetic energy as revealed by increased speeds (and loop the loop). As the cars of the roller coaster course through the changing heights, it constantly swaps between potential and kinetic energy. Theoretically, this process could be endless. However, energy is continually "lost" because of dissipative forces such as friction and air resistance.

A certain corner of a room is selected as the origin of a rectangular coordinate system. If a fly is crawling on an adjacent wal
asambeis [7]

Answer:

The distance is 3.1 m

Explanation:

The position vector of the fly relative to the corner of the wall is

r = (3.1, 0.5).

The distance of the fly from the corner will be calculated as the magnitude of the vector "r"

magnitude of vector  r = \sqrt{(3.1 m)^{2} + (0.5 m)^{2}} = 3.1 m

Since the numbers to be added have only one decimal place 3.<u>1</u> and 0.<u>5</u>, the result of the sum will have to have one decimal place. The result of the square root will also have one decimal place.

The Special Olympics raises money through "plane pull" events in which teams of 25 people compete to see who can pull a 74,000 k
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

28716.4740661 N

1.2131147541 m/s

51.2474965841%

Explanation:

m = Mass of plane = 74000 kg

s = Displacement = 3.7 m

f = Frictional force = 14000 N

t = Time taken = 6.1 s

u = Initial velocity = 0

v = Final velocity

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow 3.7=0\times 6.1+\frac{1}{2}\times a\times 6.1^2\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{3.7\times 2}{6.1^2}\\\Rightarrow a=0.198871271164\ m/s^2

Force is given by

F=ma+f\\\Rightarrow F=74000\times 0.198871271164+14000\\\Rightarrow F=28716.4740661\ N

The force with which the team pulls the plane is 28716.4740661 N

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow v=0+0.198871271164\times 6.1\\\Rightarrow v=1.2131147541\ m/s

The speed of the plane is 1.2131147541 m/s

Kinetic energy is given by

K=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\\\Rightarrow K=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 74000\times 1.2131147541^2\\\Rightarrow K=54450.9540448\ J

Work done is given by

W=Fs\\\Rightarrow W=28716.4740661\times 3.7\\\Rightarrow W=106250.954045\ J

The fraction is given by

\dfrac{54450.9540448}{106250.954045}=0.512474965841

The teams 51.2474965841% of the work goes to kinetic energy of the plane.

What do tendons connect skeletal muscles to?​
Doss [256]

Answer:

Tendons connect muscle to bone. These tough, yet flexible, bands of fibrous tissue attach the skeletal muscles to the bones they move. Essentially, tendons enable you to move; think of them as intermediaries between muscles and bones.

Hope this helps! (:
