How is energy transferred throughout the roller coaster

Physics
2 answers:
Angelina_Jolie [31]4 years ago
5 0

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.

Gnoma [55]

Answer:

(a) 7.1 m /sec

(b) 339.9 N/m

(c) 19.91 cm

Explanation:

We have given mass m = 267 gram = 0.267 kg

Time period T = 0.176 sec

Total energy of the oscillating  system = 6.74 J

We know that energy is given by

(a) Ke=\frac{1}{2}mv_{max}^2

6.74=\frac{1}{2}\times 0.267\times v_{max}^2

v_{max}=7.1m/sec

(b) Now \omega =\frac{2\pi }{T}=\frac{2\times 3.14}{0.176}=35.681rad/sec

We know that \omega =\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}

35.68=\sqrt{\frac{k}{0.267}}

k=339.9N/m

(c) We know that energy is given by

E=\frac{1}{2}KA^2

6.74=\frac{1}{2}\times 339.9\times A^2

A=19.91cm

The atmospheric pressure at the surface of titan is.
Harrizon [31]

Answer:

about 1.5 bars

Titan's atmosphere is similar to Earth's both in the predominance of nitrogen gas and in surface pressure, which is about 1.5 bars, or 50 percent higher than sea-level pressure on Earth.

7. A child of mass m starts from rest and slides without friction from a height h along a curved waterslide (Fig. P5.46). She is
marissa [1.9K]

The mechanical energy of the girl will be conserved because the system is isolated and the initial potential energy will be equal to final kinetic energy.

<h3>What is the law of conservation of energy?</h3>

The law of conservation of energy states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed but can be transformed from one form to another.

The change in the potential energy of the  launched from a height into the pool without friction from the given height h is calculated by applying the following kinematic equation.

ΔP.E = ΔK.E

where;

  • ΔP.E is change in potential energy of the child
  • ΔK.E is change in the kinetic energy of the child

mghf - mghi = ¹/₂mv²  - ¹/₂mu²

where;

  • m is the mass of the girl
  • g is acceleration due to gravity
  • hi is the initial height of the girl
  • hf is the final height when she is launched into the pool
  • u is the initial velocity
  • v is the final velocity of the girl

Thus, for every closed or isolated system such as this case, mechanical energy is always conserved because the initial potential energy of the girl will be converted into her final kinetic energy.
