potential to kinetic energy

according to PBS learning media 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.

roller coaster system is greatest at the bottom of the largest downhill slope on the track typically at the bottom of the lift Hill

so at the bottom

A particle is moving with (SHM) of period 8.0s and amplitude5.0m

nadezda [96]

Answer:

$velocity(x)=15\,\frac{\pi}{4}\,cos(\frac{\pi}{4}x)$

Max speed = $\frac{15\, \pi}{4} \,\, \frac{m}{s}$

Max acceleration = $\frac{15\,\pi^2}{16} \,\,\frac{m}{s^2}$

Explanation:

Given the description of period and amplitude, the SHM could be described by:

$f(x)=5\,sin(\frac{\pi}{4}x)$

and its angular velocity can be calculated doing the derivative:

$f(x)=5\, \,sin(\frac{\pi}{4}x)\\f'(x)=5\,\frac{\pi}{4}\,cos(\frac{\pi}{4}x)$

And therefore, the tangential velocity is calculated by multiplying this expression times the radius of the movement (3 m):

$velocity(x)=15\,\frac{\pi}{4}\,cos(\frac{\pi}{4}x)$ and is given in m/s.

Then the maximum speed is obtained when the cosine function becomes "1", and that gives:

Max speed = $\frac{15\, \pi}{4} \,\, \frac{m}{s}$

The acceleration is found from the derivative of the velocity expression, and therefore given by:

$acceleraton(x)=-15\,\frac{\pi^2}{16}\,sin(\frac{\pi}{4}x)$

and the maximum of the function will be obtained when the sine expression becomes "-1", which will render:

Max acceleration = $\frac{15\,\pi^2}{16} \,\,\frac{m}{s^2}$

The mass of a spacecraft is about 435 kg . An engine designed to increase the speed of the spacecraft while in outer space provi

svlad2 [7]

Answer:

Δ v = 125 m/s

Explanation:

given,

mass of space craft = 435 Kg

thrust = 0.09 N

time = 1 week

= 7 x 24 x 60 x 60 s

change in speed of craft = ?

Assuming no external force is exerted on the space craft

now,

$T= m_s a$

$a=\dfrac{T}{m_s}$

$a =\dfrac{0.09}{435}$

a = 2.068 x 10⁻⁴ m/s²

using equation of motion

Δ v = a t

Δ v = 2.068 x 10⁻⁴ x 7 x 24 x 60 x 60

Δ v = 125 m/s

A boy throws a baseball onto a roof and it rolls back down and off the roof with a speed of 3.75 m/s. If the roof is pitched at

dalvyx [7]

Answer:

a) t = 0.528 s

b) D = 1.62 m

Explanation:

given,

speed of the baseball = 3.75 m/s

angle made with the horizontal = 35°

height of the roof edge = 2.5 m

using equation of motion

$s = ut +\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2$

$2.5 = vsin\theta \ t +\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2$

$2.5 = 3.75\ sin35^0 \ t +\dfrac{1}{2}\times 9.8 t^2$

4.9 t² + 2.15 t - 2.5 = 0

on solving the above equation

t = 0.528 s

b) D = v cos θ × t

D = 3.75 × cos 35° ×0.528

D = 1.62 m
