B) The car has both potential and kinetic energy, and it is moving at 24.6 m/s.

Explanation:

Since the track is frictionless, the total mechanical energy of the car is constant, and it is always sum of the kinetic energy (K) and potential energy (U):

E=K+U

At the beginning, when the car is at rest at the top of the hill, all its energy is just gravitational potential energy (because the velocity is zero, so the kinetic energy is zero), so the mechanical energy is:

E=U_0=mgh=(535 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)(93.0 m)=487,599 J

At the top of the loop-de-loop, the car will have both potential energy (because it has a certain height above the ground) and kinetic energy (because it has some speed), but the total will still be the same:

E=U+K=487,599 J

We can calculate the potential energy at this point:

U=mgh=(535 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)(62.0 m)=325,066 J

So, the kinetic energy must be

K=E-U=487,599 J-325,066 J=162,533 J

And since the kinetic energy is related to the speed v by:

K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

we can find the speed of the car at the top of the loop-de-loop:

v=\sqrt{\frac{2K}{m}}=\sqrt{\frac{2\cdot 162,533 J}{535 kg}}=24.6 m/s

ipn [44]

Answer:

t=0.42s

Explanation:

Here you have an inelastic collision. By the conservation of the momentum you have:

m_1v_1+m_2v_2=(m_1+m_2)v

m1: mass of the bullet

m2: wooden block mass

v1: velocity of the bullet

v2: velocity of the wooden block

v: velocity of bullet and wooden block after the collision.

By noticing that after the collision, both objects reach the same height from where the wooden block was dropped, you can assume that v is equal to the negative of v2. In other words:

m_1(-v_1)+m_2v_2=(m1+m2)(-v2)

Where you assumed that the negative direction is upward. By replacing and doing v2 the subject of the formula you get:

-(0.0129kg)(767m/s)+(1.17kg)v_2=(1.1829kg)(-v_2)\\\\v_2=4.20m/s

Now, with this information you can use the equation for the final speed of an accelerated motion and doing t the subject of the formula. IN other words:

v_2=v_o+gt\\\\t=\frac{v_2-v_o}{g}=\frac{4.2m/s-0m/s}{9.8m/s^2}=0.42s

hence, the time is t=0.42 s

2 ways in which the effects of friction can be minimised in the experiment​
Vlad [161]

Answer:

Friction can be minimized by using lubricants like oil and grease and by using ball bearing between machine parts. A substance that is introduced between two surfaces in contact, to reduce friction, is called a lubricant. Fluid friction can be minimized by giving suitable shapes to the objects moving in the fluids.

In still​ water, a boat averages 18 18 miles per hour. it takes the same amount of time to travel 16 miles 16 miles ​downstream,
Vladimir79 [104]
<span>The current is 6 miles per hour.
   Let's create a few equations:
 Traveling with the current:
 (18 + c)*t = 16

   Traveling against the current:
 (18 - c)*t = 8

   Let's multiply the 2nd equation by 2
 (18 - c)*t*2 = 16

   Now subtract the 1st equation from the equation we just doubled.
 (18 - c)*t*2 = 16
 (18 + c)*t = 16

   (18 - c)*t*2 - (18 + c)*t = 0
 Divide both sides by t
 (18 - c)*2 - (18 + c) = 0

   Now solve for c
 (18 - c)*2 - (18 + c) = 0
 36 - 2c - 18 - c = 0
 36 - 2c - 18 - c = 0
 18 - 3c = 0
 18 = 3c
  6 = c

   So the current is 6 mph.
   Let's verify that.
 (18 + 6)*t = 16
 24*t = 16
 t = 16/24 = 2/3

   (18 - 6)*t = 8
 12*t = 8
 t = 8/12 = 2/3

   And it's verified.</span>
