Answer:

On a roller coaster, energy changes from potential to kinetic energy and back again many times over the course of a ride. Kinetic energy is energy that an object has as a result of its motion. ... Traditionally, the coaster cars are pulled up the first hill by a chain; as the cars climb, they gain potential energy.

Answer:

On a roller coaster, energy changes from potential to kinetic and back again many times over and over the course of the ride. Kinetic energy is energy that an object has because of its motion. All moving objects possess kinetic energy, which is determined by the mass and speed of the object.

Two charged objects are 1 meter apart. Calculate the magnitude of the electric force between them if the two charges are +1.0 μC

Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

0.00899 N

Explanation:

The magnitude of the electrostatic force between two charges is given by the equation:

$F=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}$

where:

$k=8.99\cdot 10^9 Nm^{-2}C^{-2}$ is the Coulomb's constant

$q_1, q_2$ are the charges

r is the distance between the two charges

And the force is:

- Repulsive if the two charges have same sign

- Attractive if the two charges have opposite sign

In this problem we have:

$q_1=1.0\mu C = 1.0\cdot 10^{6}C$ (charge of object 1)

$q_2=1.0\mu C = 1.0\cdot 10^{6}C$ (charge of object 2)

r = 1 m (separation between the objects)

So, the electric force is

$F=(8.99\cdot 10^9)\frac{(1.0\cdot 10^{-6})^2}{1^2}=0.00899 N$

Kevin is refinishing his rusty wheelbarrow. He moves his sandpaper back and forth 45 times over a rusty area, each time moving a

dmitriy555 [2]

W = _|....F*dx*cos(a)........With F=force, x=distance over which force acts on object,
.......0.............................and a=angle between force and direction of travel.

Since the force is constant in this case we don't need the equation to be an integral expression, and since the force in question - the force of friction - is always precisely opposite the direction of travel (which makes (a) equal to 180 deg, and cos(a) equal to -1) the equation can be rewritted like so:

W = F*x*(-1) ............ or ............. W = -F*x

The force of friction is given by the equation: Ffriction = Fnormal*(coeff of friction)

Also, note that the total work is the sum of all 45 passes by the sandpaper. So our final equation, when Ffriction is substituted, is:

W = (-45)(Fnormal)(coeff of friction)(distance)
W = (-45)...(1.8N).........(0.92).........(0.15m)
W = ................-11.178 Joules

Starting at (0,0) an object travels 36 meters north and then it covers 20 meters east. What is

Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Using the pythagoras theorem, the displacement is expressed as;

d² = x²+y²

y = 36m (north)

x = 20m east

Substitute;

d² = 36²+20²

d² = 1296+400

d² = 1696

d = √1696

d = 41.18m

For the direction;

theta = tan^-1(y/x)

theta = tan^-1(36/20)

theta = tan^-1(1.8)

theta = 60.95°

Hence the magnitude is 41.18m and the direction is 60.95°

A certain shade of blue has a frequency of 7.15 × 1014 hz. what is the energy of exactly one photon of this light?

Ket [755]

The energy carried by a single photon of frequency f is given by:
$E=hf$
where $h=6.6 \cdot 10^{-34} m^2 kg s^{-1}$ is the Planck constant. In our problem, the frequency of the photon is $f=7.15 \cdot 10^{14}Hz$ , and by using these numbers we can find the energy of the photon:
$E=(6.6\cdot 10^{-34}m^2 kg s^{-1})(7.15 \cdot 10^{14}Hz)=4.7 \cdot 10^{-19}J$
