Answer:

Explanation:

Maximum vertical distance or height = h = 35.4 m

let's consider the initial speed at the top is zero.

As the roller coaster is coming from top to bottom there is the conversion of gravitational potential energy into kinetic energy. So we will consider the law of conservation of energy.

As in this case,

Loss in potential energy = Gain in Kinetic energy

mgh = 1/2mv²

mass will cancel out will mass.

gh = 1/2 v²

v = √2gh

v = √2×9.8×35.4

v =√693.84

v = 26.34 m/s

The rollar coaster will have the maximum speed of 26.34 m/s when it reaches the bottom if we ignore the frictional forces.

Answer:

26.34 m/s.

Explanation:

Given:

h = 5.4 m

g = 9.81 m/s^2

Change in Potential energy = change in Kinetic energy

mgh = 1/2mv²

gh = 1/2 v²

v = √2gh

= √2×9.8×35.4

=√693.84

v = 26.34 m/s.

What is the best use of an atomic model to explain the charge of the particles in thomson's beams
hoa [83]

The best use of an atomic model to explain the charge of the particles in Thomson's beams is:

<u>An atom's smaller negative particles are at a distance from the central positive particles, so the negative particles are easier to remove.</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

In Thomson's model, an atom comprises of electrons that are surrounded by a group of positive particles to equal the electron's negative particles, like negatively charged “plums” that are surrounded by positively charged “pudding”.

Atoms are composed of a nucleus that consists of protons and neutrons . Electron was discovered by Sir J.J.Thomson. Atoms are neutral overall, therefore in Thomson’s ‘plum pudding model’:

  • atoms are spheres of positive charge
  • electrons are dotted around inside

Thomson's conclusions made him to propose the Rutherford model of the atom where the atom had a concentrated nucleus of positive charge and also large mass.

A balloon is ascending at 12.4m/s at a height of 81.3m above the ground when a package is dropped. a) How long did it take to re
tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

3secs

Explanation:

Given the following parameters

height H= 81.3m

Velocity v = 12.4m/s

Required

Time it take to reach the ground

Using the equation of motion

H = ut+1/2gt²

81.3 = 12.4t + 1/2(9.8)t²

81.3 = 12.4t + 4.9t²

4.9t² + 12.4t - 81.3 = 0

Using the general formula to find t

t = -12.4±√12.4²-4(4.9)(-81.3)/2(4.9)

t = -12.4±√153.76+1593.48/2(4.9)

t = -12.4±√1747.24/9.8

t = -12.4+41.8/9.8

t = 29.4/9.8

t = 3secs

Hence it took 3secs to reach the ground

A 300W hot plate produces 45,000 J of thermal energy while operating for 2 min. What is the efficiency of this devide? it need t
Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

Explanation: P = 300 W   and t = 2 min = 120 s

Energy Q = Pt = 300 W · 120 s = 36 000 J.

Thus, plate can not produce 45 000 J heat.
