The kinetic energy for a large vehicle is different from that of a smaller vehicle, assuming that the vehicles are travelling at the same speed and stopping the same distance. This is because for a larger vehicle the kinetic energy is higher, as the mass for a larger vehicle, is more than the smaller vehicle.

A mass m = 75 kg slides on a frictionless track that has a drop, followed by a loop-the-loop with radius R = 19.2 m and finally

dalvyx [7]

Answer:

The velocity is 19.39 m/s

Solution:

As per the question:

Mass, m = 75 kg

Radius, R = 19.2 m

Now,

When the mass is at the top position in the loop, then the necessary centrifugal force is to keep the mass on the path is provided by the gravitational force acting downwards.

$F_{C} = F_{G}$

$\frac{mv^{2}}{R} = mg$

where

v = velocity

g = acceleration due to gravity

$v = \sqrt{2gR} = \sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 19.2} = 19.39\ m/s$

zepelin [54]

The correct option is B.
Sunglasses are designed to block polarized light. If you are driving toward the sun, most of the sun's glare will be coming to you horizontally, thus, the best sunglasses to wear is the one, that will block the horizontal glare and allow only the vertical glare to pass through.
