Answer:

Explanation:

The work done on an object is equal to its change in kinetic energy: Change in KE = F × d.

Plug the values for F and d into the formula and solve:

Change in KE = 2,524 × 180

= 454,320 joules

The roller coaster gains 454,320 joules of energy from the work done on it by the chain.

The energy added here is potential energy since it is moving upward 180 meters in a gravitational field.  This is then turned into KE when it rolls down.  2524N x 180m = 454,320J

Two different simple harmonic oscillators have the same natural frequency (f=8.80 Hz) when they are on the surface of the Earth.
bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

8.80 Hz

Explanation:

The frequency of a loaded spring is given by

f=\dfrac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\dfrac{k}{m}}

where k and m are the spring constant and the mass of the load respectively. The values of these do not change because they are internal properties of the components of the system.

Hence, the frequency of the vertical spring mass does not change and is 8.80 Hz.

On the other hand, the frequency of the simple pendulum is affected because it is given by

\dfrac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\dfrac{g}{l}}

where g and l are acceleration due to gravity and length of the pendulum, respectively. It is thus seen that it depends on g, which changes with location. In fact, the new frequency is given by

f_2 = 8.80\sqrt{\dfrac{1.67}{9.81}}=3.63 \text{ Hz}

A major difference between radio waves, visible light, and gamma rays is the ____ of the photons, which results in the different
olga2289 [7]
The sentence can be completed as follows:
"<span>A major difference between radio waves, visible light, and gamma rays is the energy of the photons, which results in the different photon frequencies and wavelengths."

In fact, gamma rays have greater energy than visible light and visible light has greater energy than radio waves. The energy E of a photon is related to its frequency, f, by
</span>E=hf
<span>where h is the Planck constant. We see from this formula that the higher the frequency, the greater the energy. Instead, the wavelength is inversely proportional to the frequency:
</span>\lambda= \frac{c}{f}
<span>where c is the speed of light. Since the frequency is directly proportional to the energy, this means that the wavelength is inversely proportional to the energy.</span>

A 10.0 cm object is 5.0 cm from a concave mirror that has a focal length of 12 cm. What is the distance between the image and th
fiasKO [112]
Let's use the mirror equation to solve the problem:
\frac{1}{f}= \frac{1}{d_o}+ \frac{1}{d_i}
where f is the focal length of the mirror, d_o the distance of the object from the mirror, and d_i the distance of the image from the mirror.
For a concave mirror, for the sign convention f is considered to be positive. So we can solve the equation for d_i by using the numbers given in the text of the problem:
\frac{1}{12 cm}= \frac{1}{5 cm}+ \frac{1}{d_i}
\frac{1}{d_i}= -\frac{7}{60 cm}
d_i = -8.6 cm
Where the negative sign means that the image is virtual, so it is located behind the mirror, at 8.6 cm from the center of the mirror.
