A roller coaster car is loaded with passengers and has a mass of 500 kg along with a speed of 18 meters/second at the dip. The r

adius of curvature of the track at the bottom point of the dip is 12 meters (gravity = 9.8 meters/second2). What force is exerted on the roller coaster car by the track at the bottom of the dip?

The roller coaster is moving in a circular path, so the force that must be computed is the centripetal force. The centripetal force is the force acting on an object undergoing circular motion and is directed towards the center of the circular path. This is computed using:
F = mv²/r
F = (500 * 18²) / 12
F = 13,500 N

Now, at the bottom of the track, the track is also supporting the weight of the car and its passengers, which is:
W = mg
W = 500 * 9.81
W = 4,905 N

The total reactive force exerted by the track to counter the centripetal force and the weight of the car is:
F = 13,500 + 4,905
F = 18,405 Newtons

A construction worker is carrying a load of 40 kg over his head and is walking at a constant velocity if he travels a distance o
Anastasy [175]

Answer:

W = 0

Explanation:

We are given with, a construction worker is carrying a load of 40 kg over his head and is walking at a constant velocity. He travels a distance of 50 m.

The work done by an object is given by :

W=Fd

F = ma

So,

W=mad

m is mass

a is acceleration

d is displacement

The worker is moving with constant velocity, its acceleration will be 0. So, the work done by the worker is 0.

If a light is moved twice (2x) as far from a surface, the area the light covers is ___ as big.
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

twice

Explanation:

From magnification = height of image / height of object

Distance of image/ distance of object = magnification

If the distance and height of the object represents the initial light distance and the exposed surface respectively.

And similarly the distance and height of the image represents the final light distance and the exposed surface respectively.

Hence the new image exposure would be twice as large.

If we use the formula our point of investigation is Height of image,

H2= D2/D1× H1

H2 = 2D2/D1 × H1

H2 = 2H1

Many battery-powered devices come with cords that allow them to be
lara [203]

Answer:

The change that has to take place inside the power cord in order for the device to function properly include;

The changing of the alternating current (AC) from the electrical outlet to the direct current having a specific voltage and current value with which the device can be powered

Explanation:

A battery powered device makes use of direct current (DC) electric power from a battery, while the power normally given out at an electrical outlet comes as an alternating current (AC) electric power source.

The power cord for battery-powered device, also known as an AC/DC adapter, that allows them to be plugged into electrical outlets converts the AC electric current it obtains from the electrical outlets to DC electrical current of the appropriate voltage and amperage that the device can make use of for electric power to function and for charging the battery which is the power source for the device

Therefore, the change that has to take place in the power cord is the conversion of the electric outlet alternating current (AC) voltage and amperage values, into direct current (DC) of the required voltage and current for the device

A larger object is made of two balls separated by a massless rigid rod that is 1.5 m long. The mass of the red ball at one end i
lions [1.4K]

Answer:

The speed of the 1 kg red ball 8.04 m/s .

Explanation:

Given :

Separation between rods , d = 1.5 m .

Mass of the red ball is 1 kg .

Mass of the orange ball is 5.7 kg .

Angular velocity , \omega=1\ rev/s = 2\pi\ rad/s .

Now , distance of center of mass  from red ball is :

r =\dfrac{0\times 1+1.5\times 5.7}{1+5.7}\\\\r = 1.28\ m

We know , speed is given by :

v=\omega r\\\\v=2 \times \pi \times  1.28\\\\v=8.04\ m/s

Hence , this is the required solution .
