A roller coaster starts at the top of a straight track that is inclined at 30degrees with the horizontal. This causes it to acce

lerate at a rate of 4.9m/s^2(1/2g).
a. What is the roller coaster's speed after 3 seconds?
b. How far does it travel during that time?

Answer:

Part a)

v_f = 14.7 m/s

Part b)

d = 22.05 m

Explanation:

Part a)

Initial speed of the roller coaster

v_i = 0

acceleration of the roller coaster is given as

a = 4.9 m/s^2

now for the speed after 3 s is given as

v_f = v_i + at

v_f = 0 + 4.9 \times 3

v_f = 14.7 m/s

Part b)

Distance traveled by the roller coaster

d = (\frac{v_f + v_i}{2})t

d = (\frac{14.7 + 0}{2})(3)

d = 22.05 m

The rocket's acceleration has components \(a_{x}(t)= \alpha t^{2}\) and \(a_{y}(t)= \beta - \gamma t\), where \(\alpha = 2.50 {\
lbvjy [14]
 it is just a matter of integration and using initial conditions since in general dv/dt = a it implies v = integral a dt 
v(t)_x = integral a_{x}(t) dt = alpha t^3/3 + c the integration constant c can be found out since we know v(t)_x at t =0 is v_{0x} so substitute this in the equation to get v(t)_x = alpha t^3 / 3 + v_{0x} 
similarly v(t)_y = integral a_{y}(t) dt = integral beta - gamma t dt = beta t - gamma t^2 / 2 + c this constant c use at t = 0 v(t)_y = v_{0y} v(t)_y = beta t - gamma t^2 / 2 + v_{0y} 
so the velocity vector as a function of time vec{v}(t) in terms of components as[ alpha t^3 / 3 + v_{0x} , beta t - gamma t^2 / 2 + v_{0y} ] 
similarly you should integrate to find position vector since dr/dt = v r = integral of v dt 
r(t)_x = alpha t^4 / 12 + + v_{0x}t + c let us assume the initial position vector is at origin so x and y initial position vector is zero and hence c = 0 in both cases 
r(t)_y = beta t^2/2 - gamma t^3/6 + v_{0y} t + c here c = 0 since it is at 0 when t = 0 we assume 
r(t)_vec = [ r(t)_x , r(t)_y ] = [ alpha t^4 / 12 + + v_{0x}t , beta t^2/2 - gamma t^3/6 + v_{0y} t ]

How long does it took for 1000-watt microwave oven to do 20000 joules of work
svp [43]

Answer:

20 seconds

Explanation:

The equation for Power is:

Power = \frac{Work}{time}

Which means...

Time=\frac{Work}{Power}

We can plug in the given values into the equation:

Time = \frac{20000\ J}{1000\ W}

Time=20 \ s
