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

A negative charge is moving across a room from south to north. A magnetic field runs from east to west. In what direction is the
erica [24]
Here is your answer

C. towards the floor

REASON:

Using Fleming's Left hand rule we can determine the direction of force applied on a moving charged particle placed in a magnetic field.

The direction of current will be just opposite to the direction of electron(negative charge) because current moves from positive to negative terminal whereas electron moves from negative to positive terminal.

So, direction of current- North to South

Now applying Fleming's Left hand rule we get the direction of force in downward direction, i.e. towards the floor.

A wire with a resistance of 20 Ω (Ohm's) is connected to a 12-V battery. What is the current flowing through the wire? (Blank) A
pishuonlain [190]
<span>For this particular problem, we use Ohm's Law. This law deals with the relation between voltage and current in an ideal conductor. It states that: Potential difference across a conductor is proportional to the current that pass through it. It is expressed as V=IR. Using the equation, we can isolate I or the current to one side and the other terms to the other side. We calculate as follows:

V = IR
I = V/R
I = 12 V / 20 </span><span>Ω
I = 0.6 amperes

Therefore, the current that is flowing through the wire supplied with 12 V and having a resistance of 20 
</span><span>Ω would be 0.6 amperes.</span>

Which one is correct and why?​
Gelneren [198K]

'A' and 'C' are exactly the same circuit, except the voltmeter's terminals are flipped.

'A' is the correct way to hook everything up.

If you start at the positive terminal of the battery, and follow the flow of current through the circuit and around to the negative terminal, you're following the path where the voltage gets lower and lower and lower all the way.

So each time you come to any device in the circuit ... whether it's a resistor or a meter ... you would be hitting the positive side of it first, and then the voltage where you come out on the other side of it would be lower.  

So the left side of the resistor is more positive, and the right side is more negative.  The voltmeter is connected correctly in 'A', but it's backwards in 'C'.  If you connect the voltmeter like in 'C' and turn things on, the voltmeter will try  to go <em>down</em> from zero.  You can't read the number on it, and It's possible that the voltmeter might be damaged.
