A roller coaster speeds up with constant acceleration for 2.3 s until it reaches a velocity of 35 m/s. During this time, the rol

ler coaster travels 41m. What is the initial velocity of the roller coaster before it begins to accelerate?

The initial velocity is 0.65 m/s

Explanation:

The motion of the roller coaster is a uniformly accelerated motion, so we can solve the problem by using the following suvat equation:

s=(\frac{u+v}{2})t

where

s is the displacement

u is the initial velocity

v is the final velocity

t is the time

For the roller coaster in this problem:

v = 35 m/s

t = 2.3 s

s = 41 m

Solving the equation for u, we find the initial velocity:

u=\frac{2s}{t}-v=\frac{2(41)}{2.3}-35=0.65 m/s

How is energy measured?​
stepladder [879]

Because a Btu is so small, energy is usually measured in millions of Btus. 1 Btu = the amount of energy required to increase the temperature of one pound of water (which is equivalent to one pint) by one degree Fahrenheit. This is roughly the heat produced from burning one match.

An airplane touches down on the runway with a speed of 70 m/s2. Determine the airplane after each second of its deceleration.
ivann1987 [24]
<span>vf^2 = vi^2 + 2*a*d
---
vf = velocity final
vi = velocity initial
a = acceleration
d = distance
---
since the airplane is decelerating to zero, vf = 0
---
0 = 55*55 + 2*(-2.5)*d
d = (-55*55)/(2*(-2.5))
d = 605 meters

To provide some perspective on the dimensions of atomic defects, consider a metal specimen that has a dislocation density of 105
-Dominant- [34]

Explanation:

LD₁ = 10⁵ mm⁻²

LD₂ = 10⁴mm⁻²

V = 1000 mm³

Distance = (LD)(V)

Distance₁ = (10⁵mm⁻²)(1000mm³) = 10×10⁷mm = 10×10⁴m

Distance₂ = (10⁹mm⁻²)(1000mm³) = 1×10¹² mm = 1×10⁹ m

Conversion to miles:

Distance₁ = 10×10⁴ m / 1609m = 62 miles

Distance₂ = 10×10⁹m / 1609 m = 621,504 miles.

Andrei [34K]

Answer:

honestly i dont like physics class but for you im gonna write somethin' good but for me tho its B O R I N G

Explanation:

<em>Physics is the branch of science that deals with the structure of matter and how the fundamental constituents of the universe interact. It studies objects ranging from the very small using quantum mechanics to the entire universe using general relativity.</em>
