The roller-coaster car shown in fig. 6-41 (h1 = 45 m, h2 = 16 m, h3 = 26 m), is dragged up to point 1 where it is released from

rest. assuming no friction, calculate the speed at points 2, 3, and 4.

There are many ways to solve this but I prefer to use the energy method. Calculate the potential energy using the point then from Potential Energy convert to Kinetic Energy at each points.

PE = KE

From the given points (h1 = 45, h2 = 16, h<span>3  </span>= 26)

Let’s use the formula: 

v2= sqrt[2*Gravity*h1]  where the gravity is equal to 9.81m/s2

v3= sqrt[2*Gravity*(h1 - h3 )] where the gravity is equal to 9.81m/s2

v4= sqrt[2*Gravity*(h1 – h2)] where the gravity is equal to 9.81m/s2

Solve for v2

v2= sqrt[2*Gravity*h1]      

    = √2*9.81m/s2*45m

v2= 29.71m/s

v3= sqrt[2*Gravity*(h1 - h3 )   

    =√2*9.81m/s2*(45-26)

    =√2*9.81m/s2*19 

v3=19.31m/s

v4= sqrt[2*Gravity*(h1 – h2)]        

    =√2*9.81m/s2*(45-16)

    =√2*9.81m/s2*(29)

v4=23.85m/s

Can kintic friction affect mechanical energy
Nesterboy [21]
Yes. Kinetic energy is a form of mechanical energy and friction will turn that kinetic energy into heat.

If the distance between us and a star is doubled, with everything else remaining the same, the luminosity Group of answer choice
Savatey [412]

Answer:

remains the same, but the apparent brightness is decreased by a factor of four.

Explanation:

A star is a giant astronomical or celestial object that is comprised of a luminous sphere of plasma, binded together by its own gravitational force.

It is typically made up of two (2) main hot gas, Hydrogen (H) and Helium (He).

The luminosity of a star refers to the total amount of light radiated by the star per second and it is measured in watts (w).

The apparent brightness of a star is a measure of the rate at which radiated energy from a star reaches an observer on Earth per square meter per second.

The apparent brightness of a star is measured in watts per square meter.

If the distance between us (humans) and a star is doubled, with everything else remaining the same, the luminosity remains the same, but the apparent brightness is decreased by a factor of four (4).

Some of the examples of stars are;

- Canopus.

- Sun (closest to the Earth)

- Betelgeuse.

- Antares.

- Vega.

A hiker walked a hiking trail according to the chart below. What is a possible explanation of the hiker's movement?
joja [24]
<span>a.The hiker had an easy, level trail from 11:00-12:00 and was able to travel the fastest during that time period.---> may be because this was indeed fastest  stage


b.The hiker got tired and walked the slowest from 1:00-2:00.---> no, because this was not the slowest stage


c.The hiker stopped for lunch from 11:00-12:00 and that slowed him down.---> no because this was the fastest stage


d.The hiker ended up in the same place that he started.---> no, because the hiker walked more toward east than toward west and more toward south than toward north.

Answer: option a)
