Hello!!

Here we have a simple matter of conservation of energy. ME=PE+KE.

At point A we have PE=mgh and KE=1/2mv^2. At point A all we have is PE since the coaster isn’t rolling yet. But by conservation of energy, we know that it will have enough energy to roll down and get to and equal height on another hill. Providing we are neglecting friction and drag and resistance forces which we are in this case. So we can conclude that the KE will be greater at Point B since ME=PE+KE and for ME to remain the same and we know the PE is less on lower hill, so we can conclude that KE on lower hill is greater to keep ME the same and have conservation of energy.

Hope this helps you understand the concept!! Any questions please just ask!! Thank you so much!!

N capacitors are connected in parallel to form a "capacitor circuit". The capacitance of first capacitor is C, second one is C/2
liberstina [14]

Answer:

2C

Explanation:

The equivalent capacitance of a parallel combination of capacitors is the sum of their capacitance.

So, if the capacitance of each capacitor is half the previous one, we have a geometric series with first term = C and rate = 0.5.

Using the formula for the sum of the infinite terms of a geometric series, we have:

Sum = First term / (1 - rate)

Sum = C / (1 - 0.5)

Sum = C / 0.5 = 2C

So the equivalent capacitance of this parallel connection is 2C.

what equastion do you use to solve Riders in a carnival ride stand with their backs against the wall of a circular room of diame
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

μsmín = 0.1

Explanation:

  • There are three external forces acting on the riders, two in the vertical direction that oppose each other, the force due to gravity (which we call weight) and the friction force.
  • This friction force has a maximum value, that can be written as follows:

       F_{frmax} = \mu_{s} *F_{n} (1)

       where  μs is the coefficient of static friction, and Fn is the normal force,

       perpendicular to the wall and aiming to the center of rotation.

  • This force is the only force acting in the horizontal direction, but, at the same time, is the force that keeps the riders rotating, which is the centripetal force.
  • This force has the following general expression:

       F_{c} =  m* \omega^{2} * r (2)

       where ω is the angular velocity of the riders, and r the distance to the

      center of rotation (the  radius of the circle), and m the mass of the

      riders.

      Since Fc is actually Fn, we can replace the right side of (2) in (1), as

      follows:

     F_{frmax} = m* \mu_{s} * \omega^{2} * r (3)

  • When the riders are on the verge of sliding down, this force must be equal to the weight Fg, so we can write the following equation:

       m* g = m* \mu_{smin} * \omega^{2} * r (4)

  • (The coefficient of static friction is the minimum possible, due to any value less than it would cause the riders to slide down)
  • Cancelling the masses on both sides of (4), we get:

       g = \mu_{smin} * \omega^{2} * r (5)

  • Prior to solve (5) we need to convert ω from rev/min to rad/sec, as follows:

      60 rev/min * \frac{2*\pi rad}{1 rev} *\frac{1min}{60 sec} =6.28 rad/sec (6)

  • Replacing by the givens in (5), we can solve for μsmín, as follows:

       \mu_{smin} = \frac{g}{\omega^{2} *r}  = \frac{9.8m/s2}{(6.28rad/sec)^{2} *2.5 m} =0.1 (7)

Answer:

Definitely Spinning permanent magnets within an array of fixed permanent magnets

Explanation:

Any relative motion between magnets (be they permanent or electromagnetic) and a coil of wire will induce an electric current in the coil.

What will not induce an electric current is the relative motion between the two coils of wire (because there is no change in magnetic field), or the relative motion between two magnets (there are no coils of wire to induce the current into).

<em>Therefore, spinning permanent magnets within an array of fixed permanent magnets does not induce an electric current.</em>
