A 500.-kg roller coaster car starts from rest at the top of a 60.0-meter hill.

1.47x10^5 Joules  
The gravitational potential energy will be the mass of the object, multiplied by the height upon which it can drop, multiplied by the local gravitational acceleration. And since it started at the top of a 60.0 meter hill, halfway will be at 30.0 meters. So  
500 kg * 30.0 m * 9.8 m/s^2 = 147000 kg*m^2/s^ = 147000 Joules.  
Using scientific notation and 3 significant figures gives 1.47x10^5 Joules.

The melting point of a solid is 90.0C. What is the heat required to change 2.5 kg of this solid at 30.0C to a liquid? The specif
Neko [114]

Hey again!

Ok..

Now... The melting Point of this solid is 90°C.

Meaning That as soon as it gets to this temp... It STARTS Melting.

So at that temp... It still has some solid parts in it.

You can say its a Solid Liquid Mixture.

Additional Heat being applied at that point is not raising the temperature;rather its used in breaking the bonds in the solid. This is the Fusion stage.

After Fusion...It'd then Be a Pure Liquid with no solids in it.

So

Q'=MC∆0----- This is the heat needed to take the solid's temp from 30°c - 90°c

Q"=ml ----- This is the heat used in breaking the bonds holding the solids in the solid-liquid phase.

So

Q= Q' + Q"

Q= mc∆0 + ml

∆0 = 90°c - 30°c = 60°c

Q= 2.5(390)(60) + (2.5)(4000)

Q=6.9 x 10⁴Joules

A car that experiences no frictional force is started and caused to move. For the car to continue in that motion, the gas pedal
astraxan [27]

Explanation:

Gas pedal is not required to used on friction less surface. On a friction less surface once the car is started and caused to move, car continues to move with same velocity as there is no opposing force. Therefore, no pressing of gas pedal required. However, this situation is not possible in real life, as friction is always present.
