A roller coaster car is going over the top of a 15-m-radius circular rise. The passenger in the roller coaster has a true weight

of 600 N (therefore a mass of 61.2 kg). At the top of the hill, the passengers "feel light," with an apparent weight of only 360 N. How fast is the coaster moving

Answer:

v = 7.67 m/s

Explanation:

The equation for apparent weight in the situation of weightlessness is given as:

Apparent Weight = m(g - a)

where,

Apparent Weight = 360 N

m = mass passenger = 61.2 kg

a = acceleration of roller coaster

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

Therefore,

360 N = (61.2 kg)(9.8 m/s² - a)

9.8 m/s² - a = 360 N/61.2 kg

a = 9.8 m/s² - 5.88 m/s²

a = 3.92 m/s²

Since, this acceleration is due to the change in direction of velocity on a circular path. Therefore, it can b represented by centripetal acceleration and its formula is given as:

a = v²/r

where,

a = centripetal acceleration = 3.92 m/s²

v = speed of roller coaster = ?

r = radius of circular rise = 15 m

Therefore,

3.92 m/s² = v²/15 m

v² = (3.92 m.s²)(15 m)

v = √(58.8 m²/s²)

<u>v = 7.67 m/s</u>

A 4.0 m length of gold wire is connected to a 1.5 V battery, and a current of 4.0 mA flows through it. What is the diameter of t
sladkih [1.3K]

Explanation:

Given that,

Length of gold wire, l = 4 m

Voltage of battery, V = 1.5 V

Current, I = 4 mA

The resistivity of gold, \rho=2.44\times 10^{-8}\ \Omega-m

Resistance in terms of resistivity is given by :

R=\dfrac{\rho l}{A}

Also, V = IR

So,

\dfrac{V}{I}=\dfrac{\rho l}{A}

A is area of wire,

\dfrac{V}{I}=\dfrac{\rho l}{\pi r^2}, r is radius, r = d/2 (diameter=d)

\dfrac{V}{I}=\dfrac{\rho l}{\pi (d/2)^2}\\\\\dfrac{V}{I}=\dfrac{4\rho l}{\pi d^2}\\\\d=\sqrt{\dfrac{4\rho l I}{V\pi}} \\\\d=\sqrt{\dfrac{4\times 2.44\times 10^{-8}\times 4\times 4\times 10^{-3}}{1.5\times \pi}} \\\\d=18.2\ \mu m

Out of four option, near option is (C) 17 μm.

A capacitor consists of two parallel plates, each with an area of 17.0 cm2 , separated by a distance of 0.150 cm . The material
Llana [10]

Answer:

a) C = 40.138\,pF, b) q = 16.056\,nC, c) U = 3.212\,\mu J

Explanation:

a) The capacitance of two parallel plates capacitor with dielectric is given by the following expression:

C = K\cdot \epsilon_{o}\cdot \frac{A}{d}

Where:

K - Dielectric constant.

\epsilon_{o} - Vaccum permitivity.

A - Plate area.

d - Distance between plates.

Hence, the capacitance of the system is:

C = (4.00)\cdot (8.854\times 10^{-12}\,\frac{F}{m} )\cdot \left(\frac{17\times 10^{-4}\,m^{2}}{0.150\times 10^{-2}\,m}\right)

C = 4.014\cdot 10^{-11}\,F

C = 40.138\,pF

b) The charge can be found by using the definition of capacitance:

q = C\cdot V_{batt}

q = (4.014\times 10^{-11}\,F)\cdot (400\,V)

q = 1.606\times 10^{-8}\,C

q = 16.056\,nC

c) The energy stored in the charged capacitor is:

U=\frac{1}{2}\cdot Q\cdot V_{batt}

U=\frac{1}{2}\cdot (1.606\times 10^{-8}\,C)\cdot (400\,V)

U = 3.212\times 10^{-6}\,J

U = 3.212\,\mu J

A drone is flying horizontally when it runs out of battery and begins to free fall from 20m. No drag. If it lands 60m away (in t
rewona [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Remark

At the time it takes to drop 20 m is the same time it takes to travel 60 m horizontally.

Givens

h = 20 m

hd = 60 m

g = 9.81

vi = 0

Formula

d = vi*t + 1/2 a * t^2                  We are solving for t

Solution

When the battery fails, the vertical initial velocity is 0. So we have to find the time it would take to drop 20 meters

d = 0*t + 1/2 * 9.81 a* t^2

20 = 4.91 * t^2                          Divide by 4.91

20/4.91 = 4.91 t^2 / 4.91    

4.073 = t^2                              Take the square root of both sides.

t = 2.02 seconds

Horizontal

d = 60 m

t = 2.02 seconds

v = ?

Note: there is no horizontal deceleration or acceleration

v = d/t

v = 60/2.02

Answer: v = 29.73 m/s
